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 7:00 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 during the high tide at 8:30 PM is forecasted to be 1002.719970703125 hPa, which is significantly higher than the threshold associated with previous flood events. The tide level is expected to be high but not exceeding the critical levels observed in past Category 4 or higher events. Wind direction data is not provided; however, given the current conditions and comparison with historical events, significant flooding is not anticipated.

Day 2: 2024-08-11

CATEGORY 2

WHAT Slight risk of coastal flooding near high tide times. Inundation may occur in very low-lying areas.

WHEN Around the high tide time at 9:42 AM and again near 9:00 PM PST.

IMPACTS Possible water accumulation in susceptible coastal areas. Minor disruptions may occur but significant damage is unlikely.

ADDITIONAL DETAILS...

The barometric pressure readings for both high tides are above the critical threshold, with the evening high tide at a mean pressure MSL of 1005.5499877929688 hPa. This pressure level, combined with the NOAA Flood Likelihood indicating a low chance of flooding, suggests that while water levels may be elevated, they are not expected to reach a point of causing significant flooding concerns.

Day 3: 2024-08-12

CATEGORY 2

WHAT Potential for minor coastal flooding during high tide periods.

WHEN High tide peaks at approximately 11:06 AM and again at 9:36 PM PST.

IMPACTS Low-lying coastal areas may experience minor flooding, but major impacts are not expected.

ADDITIONAL DETAILS...

The barometric pressure remains stable and above the threshold that would indicate a severe weather event capable of causing major flooding. The NOAA Flood Likelihood data also supports a low chance of flooding for this day. The tide levels are not reaching the extremes seen in historical Category 4 or higher events, which further reduces the likelihood of significant flooding.

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. 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.
