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 06:00 AM to 07:00 PM PST.
IMPACTS Minor flooding of low-lying areas, parks, and roads. Isolated road closures possible.
The high tide at 06:06 AM on 2024-08-22 is expected to reach a height of approximately 18.44 feet with a barometric pressure of 1000.09 hPa. This pressure is higher than the critical threshold of 992.8 hPa, reducing the likelihood of significant flooding. The wind direction is from the NW at 11 kmph (7 mph), which is not expected to exacerbate flooding conditions significantly. The NOAA flood likelihood for this date is low, with a likelihood percent of 0.0% and a distance to threshold of -0.99m.
CATEGORY 3
WHAT Moderate coastal flooding possible. Inundation of up to 1 foot above ground level near shorelines and low-lying areas.
WHEN From 07:00 AM to 08:00 PM PST.
IMPACTS Moderate flooding of low-lying areas, parks, and roads. Some road closures possible.
The high tide at 07:06 AM on 2024-08-23 is expected to reach a height of approximately 18.06 feet with a barometric pressure of 1006.88 hPa. This pressure is higher than the critical threshold but lower than the previous day, indicating a slightly increased risk of flooding. The wind direction is from the S at 9 kmph (6 mph), which may contribute to higher water levels along the coast. The NOAA flood likelihood for this date remains low, with a likelihood percent of 0.0% and a distance to threshold of -1.19m.
CATEGORY 3
WHAT Moderate coastal flooding possible. Inundation of up to 1 foot above ground level near shorelines and low-lying areas.
WHEN From 08:00 AM to 09:00 PM PST.
IMPACTS Moderate flooding of low-lying areas, parks, and roads. Some road closures possible.
The high tide at 08:18 AM on 2024-08-24 is expected to reach a height of approximately 17.64 feet with a barometric pressure of 1006.78 hPa. This pressure is higher than the critical threshold but similar to the previous day, indicating a consistent risk level for moderate flooding. The wind direction is from the SSW at 16 kmph (10 mph), which may contribute to higher water levels along the coast. The NOAA flood likelihood for this date remains low, with a likelihood percent of 0.0% and a distance to threshold of -1.36m.
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.
Step-by-step analysis was conducted based on provided data:
Day 3: Pressure = 1006.78 hPa (higher than critical threshold)
Evaluate Tide Height:
Day 3: High tide = ~17.64 feet
Consider Wind Direction:
Day 3: SSW at 16 kmph (10 mph)
Integrate NOAA High Tide Flooding Likelihood:
All days have a low flood likelihood with a percent chance of 0%.
Synthesize Information and Forecast Flood Category:
This analysis emphasizes that while there are moderate risks for coastal flooding on Days2 and Days3, the overall likelihood remains low based on current data trends and historical comparisons.
