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 8:00 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 well above the threshold that has historically indicated severe flooding events. The highest tide level is significantly lower than the levels seen in Category 4 or higher events. Wind data is not provided, but given the current conditions and NOAA's low flood likelihood prediction, significant flooding is not expected.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT Minor coastal flooding potential continues with slight inundation possible in vulnerable areas.
WHEN Highest risk near the time of high tide at approximately 6:42 AM and again around 7:36 PM PST.
IMPACTS Similar to Day 1, with minor nuisance flooding in low-lying coastal areas and potential for isolated road closures.
Barometric pressure remains stable and high, reducing the risk of severe weather conditions that could lead to flooding. Tide levels are not reaching the critical heights seen in past significant flood events. The NOAA flood likelihood remains low, supporting the forecast of minimal flood risk.
CATEGORY 3
WHAT Elevated risk of coastal flooding due to higher tide levels. Some property damage is possible in very low-lying areas.
WHEN Highest risk near the time of high tide at approximately 7:00 AM and again around 8:06 PM PST.
IMPACTS Increased potential for minor property damage, especially in areas that are typically susceptible to high tide flooding. More widespread road closures may occur.
The barometric pressure is slightly lower on this day compared to the previous days but still not indicative of severe weather conditions that could lead to major flooding. The tide level is approaching the lower end of Category 4 historical events but without accompanying severe weather indicators. NOAA's flood likelihood remains low, suggesting that while there may be an increased risk compared to the previous days, a major flood event is unlikely.
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 regarding safety measures and stay informed about any updates or evacuation orders.
