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 3:00 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 significantly higher than the threshold that has historically indicated severe flooding events. However, the tide height is approaching levels that have previously resulted in minor flooding (Category 3). The NOAA High Tide Flooding Likelihood indicates a low chance of flooding, which aligns with the absence of extreme weather conditions suggested by the barometric pressure data. Wind direction data is not provided, but given the other factors, the risk remains at a Category 3 level.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT Coastal conditions are expected to be mostly stable with a very low likelihood of flooding.
WHEN The risk is low throughout the day.
IMPACTS No significant impacts expected. Normal tidal conditions with no anticipated disruption.
The barometric pressure is higher than on Day 1 and well above the threshold associated with severe flooding events. Tide heights are not reaching levels that have historically resulted in notable flooding. NOAA's flood likelihood remains low, and there is no indication from the provided data that wind conditions would contribute to an increased flood risk.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT No significant coastal flooding expected. Conditions similar to Day 2.
WHEN Low risk persists throughout the day.
IMPACTS No anticipated impacts due to stable coastal conditions and normal tidal activity.
Barometric pressure continues to be high, suggesting stable weather conditions and a low likelihood of severe weather that could lead to flooding. Tide heights are not indicative of a flood risk, and NOAA's flood likelihood analysis supports this conclusion with a low chance of flooding. Without adverse wind conditions contributing to elevated risks, the forecast remains at a Category 2 level.
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.
