Redondo Beach, WA
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 07:00 AM to 10:00 AM PST.
IMPACTS Minor flooding of low-lying areas, parks, and roads. Isolated road closures possible.
The barometric pressure on 2024-08-27 is relatively high at 1010.24 hPa during the high tide at 13:12 and 1007.69 hPa at 22:36. The tide heights are significant but not extreme, with the highest tide reaching approximately 17.317 feet. Wind speeds are low, ranging from 2 to 8 mph, and the wind direction is not aligned with historical severe flood events. NOAA's flood likelihood analysis indicates a low likelihood of flooding with a distance to threshold of -3.35m.
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 09:00 AM to 12:00 PM PST.
IMPACTS Moderate flooding of low-lying areas, parks, and roads. Some road closures possible.
On 2024-08-28, the barometric pressure is slightly lower at the high tides (1008.02 hPa at 14:30 and 1008.55 hPa at 23:48). The highest tide reaches approximately 18.448 feet, which is higher than the previous day but still below the most severe historical events. Wind speeds remain low, and NOAA's flood likelihood analysis continues to indicate a low likelihood of flooding with a distance to threshold of -2.76m.
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 10:00 AM to 01:00 PM PST.
IMPACTS Significant flooding of low-lying areas, parks, and roads. Road closures likely.
On 2024-08-29, the barometric pressure drops further to around 1005.78 hPa during the high tides at both 09:24 and 15:24. The highest tide reaches approximately 18.944 feet, which is approaching the levels seen in more severe historical events like those on 12/27/2022 (Category 5). Wind speeds are still moderate but could contribute to higher water levels if they align with certain directions. NOAA's flood likelihood analysis indicates a low likelihood of flooding with a distance to threshold of -2.27m.
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 the potential flood risk based on current data trends and historical comparisons. Always consult local authorities or experts for final decision-making in flood-related situations.
