Flood Watch

Redondo Beach, WA

Day 1: 2024-08-04

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 5:00 PM to 7:00 PM PST.

IMPACTS Minor flooding of low-lying areas, parks, and roads. Isolated road closures possible.

ADDITIONAL DETAILS...

The barometric pressure during the high tide at 6:12 PM is forecasted to be 998.8 hPa, which is higher than the threshold that has historically led to significant flooding events. The tide height at this time is expected to be below the levels that have previously caused major flooding. Wind direction data is not provided, but given the low NOAA flood likelihood of 0.0% and a distance to threshold of -1.77m, the risk remains categorized as minor.

Day 2: 2024-08-05

CATEGORY 2

WHAT Slight risk of coastal flooding near shorelines and low-lying areas.

WHEN Highest risk around the morning high tide at approximately 4:24 AM PST.

IMPACTS Potential for minor overflow onto coastal roads and footpaths, with no significant damage expected.

ADDITIONAL DETAILS...

The barometric pressure during the morning high tide is forecasted to be slightly lower at 997.9 hPa, which could indicate a slightly higher risk than on Day 1. However, with NOAA's flood likelihood still at a low 0.0% and a distance to threshold of -1.95m, the overall risk remains low. The absence of wind data limits a more detailed assessment but does not significantly alter the risk category based on available data.

Day 3: 2024-08-06

CATEGORY 2

WHAT Minor coastal flooding possible in the evening due to high tide.

WHEN Elevated risk during high tide at approximately 6:54 PM PST.

IMPACTS Low-lying areas and parks may experience minor flooding; precautionary measures advised for waterfront properties.

ADDITIONAL DETAILS...

On Day 3, the barometric pressure during the evening high tide is forecasted to be higher at 1000.8 hPa, suggesting stable weather conditions and a reduced likelihood of severe flooding. NOAA's flood likelihood remains low at 0.0%, with a distance to threshold of -1.93m, indicating minimal flood risk despite the high tide level.

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.
