Flood Watch

Redondo Beach, WA

Day 1: 2024-08-22

CATEGORY 3

WHAT Minor coastal flooding expected. Possible inundation of up to 1 foot above ground level near shorelines and low-lying areas.

*WHEN From 06:00 AM to 07:00 AM PST and from 06:00 PM to 07:00 PM PST.

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

ADDITIONAL DETAILS...

On August 22, the high tide at 06:06 AM is expected to reach a height of approximately 18.44 feet with a barometric pressure of 1000.13 hPa. The second high tide at 06:54 PM will reach around 20.17 feet with a barometric pressure of 1006.09 hPa. The barometric pressure is relatively high compared to historical severe flood events, suggesting less severe weather conditions. However, the tide heights are significant and warrant monitoring, especially during the morning high tide when the pressure is lower.

Day 2: 2024-08-23

CATEGORY 2

WHAT Minimal coastal flooding expected. Slight inundation possible in very low-lying areas.

WHEN From 07:00 AM to 08:00 AM PST and from 07:00 PM to 08:00 PM PST.

IMPACTS Very minor flooding in extremely low-lying areas. No significant road closures expected.

ADDITIONAL DETAILS...

On August 23, the high tide at 07:06 AM is expected to reach a height of approximately 18.06 feet with a barometric pressure of 1006.58 hPa. The second high tide at 07:30 PM will reach around 20.10 feet with a barometric pressure of 1009.82 hPa. The relatively high barometric pressures and moderate tide heights suggest minimal risk for significant flooding.

Day 3: 2024-08-24

CATEGORY 3

WHAT Minor coastal flooding expected. Possible inundation of up to 1 foot above ground level near shorelines and low-lying areas.

WHEN From 08:00 AM to 09:00 AM PST and from 08:00 PM to 09:00 PM PST.

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

ADDITIONAL DETAILS...

On August 24, the high tide at 08:18 AM is expected to reach a height of approximately 17.64 feet with a barometric pressure of 1006.81 hPa. The second high tide at 08:06 PM will reach around 19.80 feet with a barometric pressure of 1006.81 hPa. The barometric pressures are relatively high compared to historical severe flood events, suggesting less severe weather conditions, but the tide heights are still significant enough to warrant monitoring for minor flooding.

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

You 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.


Forecast Reasoning:

Day 1 (2024-08-22):

Day 2 (2024-08-23):

Day 3 (2024-08-24):

The analysis indicates that while there is some potential for minor coastal flooding on all three days, particularly during high tides, the overall risk remains relatively low due to higher barometric pressures compared to historical severe flood events.

Always consult local authorities or experts for final decision-making in flood-related situations.
