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 4:00 PM to 6:00 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 indicates severe weather conditions and potential flooding. However, the high tide at 17:12 with a mean pressure MSL of 1007.5599975585938 hPa, while not as low as historical flooding events, still warrants attention due to the proximity to the threshold. The NOAA Flood Likelihood Analysis indicates a low likelihood of flooding for this date, which aligns with the current weather data showing no significant precipitation and moderate temperatures. Wind direction from the NW could contribute to water levels but is not expected to be a significant factor due to lower wind speeds.
CATEGORY 3
WHAT Continued minor coastal flooding potential with similar conditions as Day 1.
WHEN From 4:00 PM to 6:30 PM PST.
IMPACTS Similar minor impacts as Day 1 with potential for low-lying area inundation and isolated road closures.
The barometric pressure remains stable and higher than critical thresholds, suggesting less severe weather conditions. The high tide at 17:42 with a mean pressure MSL of 1004.9299926757812 hPa is slightly lower than on Day 1 but still above the threshold for major concern. NOAA's Flood Likelihood Analysis maintains a low likelihood of flooding for this date. Wind conditions remain consistent with Day 1, providing no additional risk factors.
CATEGORY 4
WHAT Elevated risk of coastal flooding due to lower barometric pressure and high tide levels.
WHEN From 5:00 PM to 7:00 PM PST.
IMPACTS Increased risk of property damage due to higher tide levels and lower barometric pressure. Precautionary measures should be considered for vulnerable coastal areas.
On Day 3, the barometric pressure drops closer to historical event thresholds at a mean pressure MSL of 1000.9500122070312 hPa during high tide at 18:12, indicating an increased risk of coastal flooding compared to the previous days. The NOAA Flood Likelihood Analysis still shows a low likelihood; however, given the lower pressure and consistent high tides, there is an elevated risk compared to Days 1 and 2. Wind direction remains less influential due to moderate speeds.
Residents and businesses in Redondo Beach 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.
