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 6:00 PM to 11:59 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 led to severe flooding events. The tide heights, while elevated, do not reach the levels seen in past Category 4 or higher events. Wind direction from the NNW at the time of high tide may contribute to water levels but is not indicative of a severe event. NOAA's Flood Likelihood Analysis indicates a low likelihood of flooding for this date.
CATEGORY 3
WHAT Elevated risk of coastal flooding. Potential for water levels to reach 1 foot above ground in some areas.
WHEN Highest risk during high tide times, particularly around 9:12 AM PST.
IMPACTS Increased risk of flooding in low-lying areas and roads near the shoreline. Some property damage is possible, and residents should be prepared for potential road closures.
The barometric pressure is lower on this day, nearing the threshold that has been associated with previous Category 3 events. The tide height is also higher than on Day 1, which increases the risk of flooding. The wind direction is not provided but should be monitored closely if it comes from the W/NW as it could push more water ashore. NOAA's Flood Likelihood Analysis still indicates a low likelihood of flooding, but the distance to the threshold is decreasing compared to Day 1.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT Minor coastal flooding possible with water levels slightly above normal high tide marks.
WHEN Potential minor flooding around high tide at 4:06 PM PST.
IMPACTS Low-lying areas and parks near the shoreline may experience minor flooding. No significant property damage expected.
Barometric pressure on this day is higher than on Day 2 and does not fall within the range associated with severe flooding events. Tide heights are lower than on Day 2, reducing the risk of significant flooding. Without specific wind data, it's difficult to assess its impact fully; however, based on available data, the risk remains categorized as minor. NOAA's Flood Likelihood Analysis maintains a low likelihood of flooding for this date.
Residents 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.
