Flood Watch

Redondo Beach, WA

Day 1: 2024-08-10

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 8:00 PM to 9:00 PM PST.

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

ADDITIONAL DETAILS...

The barometric pressure readings for the high tides on this day are significantly higher than the threshold that has historically led to severe flooding events. The pressure readings of 1000.8300170898438 hPa and 1002.719970703125 hPa during the high tides are indicative of less severe weather conditions compared to past events that caused major flooding. The NOAA's Flood Likelihood Analysis indicates a low likelihood of flooding with a 0.0% chance, which supports the assessment that the risk of flooding is minimal despite the high tide levels.

Day 2: 2024-08-11

CATEGORY 2

WHAT Minor coastal flooding potential due to high tide, but significant flooding unlikely.

WHEN Highest risk near the time of high tide at approximately 9:42 AM and 9:00 PM PST.

IMPACTS Low-lying areas and parks may experience minor overflow; no significant property damage expected.

ADDITIONAL DETAILS...

The barometric pressure is forecasted to be above the critical threshold at 1005.5900268554688 hPa and 1002.2999877929688 hPa during high tides, suggesting stable weather conditions and a lower risk of flooding. The NOAA Flood Likelihood remains low at 0.0%, indicating that while water levels may be elevated, they are not expected to reach thresholds that would result in significant flooding.

Day 3: 2024-08-12

CATEGORY 2

WHAT Continued minor coastal flooding potential with no significant impact anticipated.

WHEN High tide times around 11:06 AM and after 9:36 PM PST pose the highest risk for minor overflow.

IMPACTS Possible minor encroachment into very low-lying areas; major structures and properties remain safe from flood damage.

ADDITIONAL DETAILS...

Barometric pressure readings for both high tides are well above the critical threshold at 1005.8800048828125 hPa, indicating that severe weather is not a contributing factor for flooding on this day. The NOAA Flood Likelihood Analysis continues to show a low likelihood of flooding at 0.0%, reinforcing the prediction that significant flooding is not expected despite higher water levels due to tides.

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 conditions change. It is always advisable to consult with local authorities or experts for final decision-making in flood-related situations.
