Flood Watch

Redondo Beach, WA

Day 1: 2024-08-26

CATEGORY 2

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 11:18 AM PST.

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

ADDITIONAL DETAILS...

On August 26, the high tide at 06:00 AM is expected to reach 9.978 feet with a barometric pressure of 1007.4 hPa. The second high tide at 11:18 AM will reach 17.340 feet with a barometric pressure of 1009.92 hPa. The barometric pressures are relatively high compared to historical severe flood events, suggesting less severe weather conditions. Wind speeds are low, and the NOAA flood likelihood is also low at 0.0%. Therefore, the risk of significant flooding is minimal.

Day 2: 2024-08-27

CATEGORY 3

WHAT Moderate coastal flooding expected. Possible inundation of up to 2 feet above ground level near shorelines and low-lying areas.

WHEN From 01:12 PM to 10:36 PM PST.

IMPACTS Moderate flooding of low-lying areas, parks, and roads. Some road closures possible.

ADDITIONAL DETAILS...

On August 27, the high tide at 01:12 PM is expected to reach 17.819 feet with a barometric pressure of 1009.79 hPa. The second high tide at 10:36 PM will reach 17.617 feet with a barometric pressure of 1006.8 hPa. The barometric pressures are higher than those observed in historical severe flood events but lower than the previous day, indicating a moderate risk of flooding. Wind speeds remain low, and the NOAA flood likelihood remains at 0.0%. This suggests a moderate risk of flooding but not severe enough to cause major property damage.

Day 3: 2024-08-28

CATEGORY 4

WHAT Significant coastal flooding expected. Possible inundation of up to 3 feet above ground level near shorelines and low-lying areas.

WHEN From 02:30 PM to 11:48 PM PST.

IMPACTS Significant flooding of low-lying areas, parks, and roads. Road closures likely.

ADDITIONAL DETAILS...

On August 28, the high tide at 02:30 PM is expected to reach 18.473 feet with a barometric pressure of 1003.51 hPa. The second high tide at 11:48 PM will reach the same height with the same barometric pressure. The barometric pressure is lower than on previous days but still higher than in historical severe flood events like those on January 7, 2022 (992.8 hPa). Wind speeds remain moderate, and the NOAA flood likelihood remains at a low percentage (0%). However, given the higher tide heights and slightly lower pressure, there is an increased risk of significant flooding compared to the previous days.

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.
