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 9:00 PM to 11:59 PM PST.
IMPACTS Minor flooding of low-lying areas, parks, and roads. Isolated road closures possible.
The barometric pressure is significantly higher than the threshold associated with past flooding events, suggesting less severe weather conditions. The high tide at 11:06 AM with a pressure of 1009.27001953125 hPa does not coincide with the historical flooding events that had much lower pressures. The wind direction is not provided but considering the NOAA's Flood Likelihood Analysis indicating a low likelihood of flooding, the risk remains categorized at level 2 for this day.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT Minimal risk of coastal flooding. No significant inundation expected.
WHEN Highest risk near the time of high tide at 10:18 PM PST.
IMPACTS No significant impacts expected. Monitoring of usual flood-prone areas recommended.
Similar to Day 1, the barometric pressure remains high, well above critical thresholds. The high tide at 1:06 PM with a pressure of 1013.27001953125 hPa is not indicative of major flooding risks. The NOAA Flood Likelihood remains low, and no significant changes in weather patterns are observed to alter the risk level.
CATEGORY 3
WHAT Elevated risk of coastal flooding due to higher tide levels. Potential for water encroachment in susceptible areas.
WHEN Highest risk near the time of high tide at 7:54 AM PST and again around the second high tide at 8:00 PM PST.
IMPACTS Possible minor property damage in low-lying coastal areas. Increased risk of inundation in parks, walkways, and streets near the shoreline.
On Day 3, the barometric pressure drops slightly to a mean pressure MSL of 1010.2000122070312 hPa during both high tides, which is closer to historical flood event pressures but still above critical levels. The NOAA Flood Likelihood Analysis continues to indicate a low likelihood of flooding; however, vigilance is advised due to the slightly lower barometric pressure and potential for wind direction from W/NW as per historical data correlations.
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 on the latest weather updates and heed any advice or instructions from local authorities.
