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 2:00 PM to 5:00 PM PST.
IMPACTS Minor flooding of low-lying areas, parks, and roads. Isolated road closures possible.
The barometric pressure readings for the high tides on this day are above the threshold that has historically indicated severe flooding events. However, the tide levels are approaching heights that have been associated with Category 3 events in the past. The wind direction is from the north-northwest, which may not significantly contribute to storm surge in this region. Comparing with historical data, particularly the event on 12/17/2022, the current conditions suggest a moderate risk of flooding but not at a level that would cause major property damage.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT Low risk of coastal flooding. No significant inundation expected.
WHEN Highest risk during high tide times.
IMPACTS No significant impacts expected. Normal tidal fluctuations with no substantial overflow.
The barometric pressure is notably higher than the threshold associated with severe flooding events, indicating stable weather conditions and a lower likelihood of flooding. Tide levels are not reaching heights that would typically pose a risk. NOAA's Flood Likelihood Analysis reports a low likelihood of flooding for this date, which aligns with the other data points to suggest minimal flood risk.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT Low risk of coastal flooding. No significant inundation expected.
WHEN Highest risk during high tide times.
IMPACTS No significant impacts expected. Normal tidal fluctuations with no substantial overflow.
Similar to Day 2, the barometric pressure remains high, and tide levels are not indicative of a significant flood risk. The wind direction is not provided but given the other factors, it is unlikely to have a major impact on flood potential for this day. NOAA's Flood Likelihood Analysis also indicates a low likelihood of flooding, supporting the assessment of minimal flood risk.
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.
