Redondo Beach, WA
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 8:00 PM to 10:00 PM PST.
IMPACTS Minor flooding of low-lying areas, parks, and roads. Isolated road closures possible.
The barometric pressure is significantly higher than the threshold that has historically led to severe flooding, indicating less severe weather conditions. The high tide at 20:54 with a mean pressure MSL of 1006.6500244140625 hPa is not expected to cause significant flooding, as it is well above the critical threshold of 992.8 hPa. The NOAA Flood Likelihood for this date is low, with a likelihood percent of 0.0%, further supporting the forecast of minor impacts.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT Slight risk of coastal flooding near shorelines and low-lying areas.
WHEN From 9:00 AM to 11:00 AM PST and again from 9:00 PM to 11:00 PM PST.
IMPACTS Potential for minor overflow in the most vulnerable spots along the waterfront and shoreline with brief road closures possible.
The barometric pressure remains high, reducing the risk of significant flooding despite the high tide levels. The mean pressure MSL at both high tides is above the critical threshold, and NOAA's Flood Likelihood remains low at 0.0%, indicating a continued low risk of flooding.
CATEGORY 3
WHAT Elevated risk of coastal flooding due to higher tide levels and lower barometric pressure.
WHEN From 10:00 AM to 12:00 PM PST and again from 10:00 PM to midnight PST.
IMPACTS Increased potential for minor property damage in low-lying areas due to higher tide levels. Localized road closures and minor overflow along the waterfront are possible.
The barometric pressure on this day drops closer to the critical threshold at a mean pressure MSL of 1001.22998046875 hPa during both high tides, which may increase the risk of flooding compared to the previous days. However, it remains above the historical flood event thresholds, suggesting that while there is an elevated risk compared to Days 1 and 2, widespread significant flooding is not anticipated based on current data.
Residents 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.
