Redondo Beach, WA
CATEGORY 3
WHAT Minor coastal flooding expected. Possible inundation of up to 0.5 feet above ground level near shorelines and low-lying areas.
WHEN From 6:00 PM to 9:00 PM PST.
IMPACTS Minor flooding of low-lying areas, parks, and roads. Isolated road closures possible.
The barometric pressure during the high tide at 7:00 AM is significantly higher than the threshold associated with past flooding events, suggesting a lower risk of severe flooding. However, the tide height is approaching levels that have historically led to minor coastal flooding. Wind direction from the south-southwest may contribute to water level rise but is not as critical as in past major flood events. The NOAA Flood Likelihood for this date is low, which supports the forecast of a Category 3 event.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT Coastal conditions are expected to be stable with no significant risk of flooding.
WHEN Throughout the day.
IMPACTS No significant impacts expected. Normal tidal conditions with no immediate threat to property.
Barometric pressure readings are well above critical levels, and the tide height does not reach the threshold associated with historical flooding events. Wind conditions are also not indicative of a heightened flood risk. NOAA's Flood Likelihood remains low, reinforcing the assessment of no significant flood risk for this day.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT No coastal flooding expected. Normal tidal activity with no adverse impacts.
WHEN Throughout the day.
IMPACTS No disruption anticipated in coastal or low-lying areas.
Similar to Day 2, barometric pressure is stable and not indicative of severe weather conditions that could lead to flooding. Tide heights remain below critical levels associated with past flood events, and wind direction does not suggest an increased risk. NOAA's Flood Likelihood analysis indicates a low chance of flooding, which aligns with the prediction of no significant flood risk for this day.
Residents and visitors should monitor later forecasts and be alert for possible Flood Warnings. Those living in areas prone to flooding should be prepared to take action should flooding develop. Consult local authorities or experts for final decision-making in flood-related situations and adhere to any advisories or evacuation orders that may be issued.
