Redondo Beach, WA
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 07:00 AM to 08:00 AM PST.
IMPACTS Minor flooding of low-lying areas, parks, and roads. Isolated road closures possible.
The barometric pressure at the time of the high tide at 07:06 AM is 1006.99 hPa, which is higher than the critical threshold of 992.8 hPa but lower than the pressure observed during the Category 3 event on 12/27/2023. The tide height is significant at 18.06 feet, which is comparable to the Category 3 event. Wind direction from the NW at 6 kmph (4 mph) is not as severe as in higher category events but should still be monitored.
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.
IMPACTS Minor flooding of low-lying areas, parks, and roads. Isolated road closures possible.
The barometric pressure at the time of the high tide at 08:18 AM is 1005.99 hPa, which is higher than the critical threshold but still lower than the pressure observed during the Category 3 event on 12/27/2023. The tide height is significant at 17.645 feet, which is comparable to the Category 3 event. Wind direction from the S at 15 kmph (10 mph) should be monitored as it can exacerbate flooding conditions.
CATEGORY 4
WHAT Likely coastal flooding expected with potential property damage. Possible inundation of up to 2 feet above ground level near shorelines and low-lying areas.
WHEN From 04:00 AM to 05:00 AM PST.
IMPACTS Likely flooding of low-lying areas, parks, and roads. Property damage possible in vulnerable areas.
The barometric pressure at the time of the high tide at 04:42 AM is 1005.08 hPa, which is higher than the critical threshold but still lower than pressures observed during less severe events. The tide height is significant at approximately 17.476 feet, which is comparable to higher category events like those on 11/15/2021 and 01/07/2022. Wind direction from the SSW at around 8 kmph (5 mph) should be monitored closely as it can contribute to higher water levels and potential flooding.
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.
This analysis integrates weather observations, tide data, and barometric pressure while comparing with historical events for insights. The categorization reflects a balanced assessment based on provided data and historical benchmarks. Always consult local authorities or experts for final decision-making in flood-related situations.
