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 12:00 PM to 2:00 PM PST.
IMPACTS Minor flooding of low-lying areas, parks, and roads. Isolated road closures possible.
The barometric pressure is forecasted to be around 1001.8699951171875 hPa during the high tide at 13:12, which is higher than the threshold that indicates a severe flood risk. However, the tide height is not provided in the user data for this specific time. Given the historical data, a tide height above 16 Ft combined with this pressure could suggest a potential for flooding. The NOAA Flood Likelihood for this day is low, with a 0.0% likelihood and a significant distance to the flood threshold. The weather data indicates light drizzle with overcast conditions, which may contribute to minor flooding in susceptible areas.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT Coastal conditions expected to be mostly stable with a slight chance of water level rise near the shorelines.
WHEN Highest risk period is during the early morning high tide and late evening.
IMPACTS Potential for minor pooling of water in low-lying coastal areas but no significant flooding expected.
The barometric pressure during the high tide at 09:00 is forecasted to be around 997.0700073242188 hPa, which is closer to the threshold that could indicate a flood risk but still above it. The NOAA Flood Likelihood remains low with no expected flooding. Weather conditions show light drizzle and mist throughout the day, which may not contribute significantly to flooding risks.
CATEGORY 4
WHAT Elevated risk of coastal flooding due to high tides and lower barometric pressure. Potential for property damage in vulnerable areas.
WHEN Highest risk period is from late afternoon into early evening, coinciding with high tides.
IMPACTS Possible flooding of properties, especially those not elevated or protected against rising water levels. Roads near the shoreline may become impassable.
On this day, the barometric pressure during the high tide at 15:48 is forecasted to be around 994.3699951171875 hPa, which is below the threshold that significantly increases the likelihood of flooding. This pressure reading is similar to past Category 4 events and suggests a more serious flood risk when combined with high tides over 16 Ft. The NOAA Flood Likelihood data indicates a low chance of flooding; however, given the lower barometric pressure and historical comparisons, there is an elevated risk that needs close monitoring.
Residents and businesses near shorelines 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 heed any evacuation orders or safety advisories issued by them.
