Flood Watch

Redondo Beach, WA

Day 1: 2024-08-01

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 3:00 PM to 5:00 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 that has historically indicated severe flooding events. The highest tide level is also below the levels seen in past Category 4 or higher events. However, given the NOAA's low flood likelihood and the distance to the threshold, the risk remains minor.

Day 2: 2024-08-02

CATEGORY 2

WHAT Minor coastal flooding potential persists with limited impact expected.

WHEN Highest risk near the high tide at approximately 5:12 PM PST.

IMPACTS Similar to Day 1, with minor and localized flooding possible in susceptible areas.

ADDITIONAL DETAILS...

The barometric pressure is well above the critical threshold, and while the tide levels are elevated, they do not approach those seen during major historical flood events. The NOAA flood likelihood remains low, suggesting a limited risk of significant flooding.

Day 3: 2024-08-03

CATEGORY 2

WHAT Continued minor coastal flooding potential with no significant change in conditions.

WHEN Highest risk coinciding with high tide around 5:42 PM PST.

IMPACTS Expect similar impacts as the previous days, with minor nuisance flooding in low-lying coastal areas.

ADDITIONAL DETAILS...

Barometric pressure remains stable and above critical levels associated with severe flooding. Tide levels are consistent with the previous days, not reaching thresholds that would indicate a higher category event. NOAA's flood likelihood analysis supports a continued low risk of significant flooding.

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 for emergency preparedness information and heed any evacuation orders or advisories.
