Redondo Beach, WA
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 7:30 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. With pressures of 1004.4299926757812 hPa and 1000.6300048828125 hPa during high tides, the risk of flooding is less than during previous events with lower pressures. The NOAA Flood Likelihood Analysis indicates a low likelihood of flooding with a 0.0% chance, which supports the assessment that while there may be minor coastal flooding, it is not expected to be severe.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT Minor coastal flooding potential persists with slight inundation near shorelines and low-lying areas.
WHEN Highest risk period from early morning around 6:30 AM to evening around 7:30 PM PST.
IMPACTS Similar to Day 1, expect minor inconveniences in low-lying coastal areas but no significant property damage.
Continuing the trend from Day 1, the barometric pressure remains high at the times of high tide (1004.719970703125 hPa and 1001.0499877929688 hPa), suggesting stable weather conditions and a lower risk of severe flooding. The NOAA Flood Likelihood Analysis again shows a low likelihood of flooding with no change in percentage or threshold distance, reinforcing the expectation of minor impacts.
CATEGORY 3
WHAT Elevated risk of coastal flooding with potential for minor property damage in vulnerable areas.
WHEN Increased risk during high tide at approximately 7:00 PM PST.
IMPACTS Potential for minor property damage in low-lying coastal areas, with water possibly reaching structures close to the shoreline.
On Day 3, the barometric pressure at the time of high tide is slightly lower at 1001.75 hPa but still above the critical threshold associated with severe flooding events. However, given that this pressure is closer to historical Category 3 events and considering the NOAA Flood Likelihood Analysis indicates a low likelihood with no percentage change, there is an elevated risk compared to Days 1 and 2. The forecasted weather conditions suggest a slightly higher chance of minor property damage due to coastal flooding, but still not at a severe 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. Stay informed through local news sources, adhere to any advisories or warnings issued by local authorities, and have a plan in place for evacuation if necessary.
