Flood Watch

Redondo Beach, WA

Day 1: 2024-07-25

CATEGORY 2

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.

ADDITIONAL DETAILS...

The barometric pressure readings for the high tides on this day are significantly higher than the threshold associated with previous flood events, indicating less severe weather conditions and a lower likelihood of an extreme flooding event. The tide height is not reaching the levels seen in historical Category 4 or 5 events, and NOAA's Flood Likelihood Analysis indicates a low likelihood of flooding with a 0.0% chance. However, the wind direction is not provided, which could influence the final assessment if coming from W/NW.

Day 2: 2024-07-26

CATEGORY 2

WHAT Minimal risk of coastal flooding. No significant impact expected.

WHEN The entire day presents minimal risk.

IMPACTS No significant impacts anticipated. Normal tidal conditions expected without substantial overflow.

ADDITIONAL DETAILS...

Similar to Day 1, the barometric pressure readings are well above the threshold that would indicate a severe weather event capable of causing flooding. The tide height remains below critical levels seen in past significant flood events, and NOAA's analysis continues to show a low likelihood of flooding for this region.

Day 3: 2024-07-27

CATEGORY 2

WHAT Minimal risk of coastal flooding. No significant impact expected.

WHEN The entire day presents minimal risk.

IMPACTS No significant impacts anticipated. Normal tidal conditions expected without substantial overflow.

ADDITIONAL DETAILS...

The pattern continues with high barometric pressure readings indicating stable weather conditions unlikely to contribute to flooding. Tide heights are not reaching concerning levels, and NOAA's analysis maintains a low likelihood of flooding. Without any indication of wind direction from W/NW, which could push more water ashore, the risk remains minimal.

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

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.
