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 14:00 to 15:00 PST.
IMPACTS Minor flooding of low-lying areas, parks, and roads. Isolated road closures possible.
On August 28, the high tide at 14:30 is expected to reach a height of approximately 18.473 feet with a barometric pressure of 1008.49 hPa. The wind direction is predominantly from the north-northwest (NNW) with speeds around 10 mph. Historical data indicates that similar conditions have not led to significant flooding events. The NOAA flood likelihood for this date is low, with a likelihood percent of 0.0%. Given these factors, the flood risk remains minimal.
CATEGORY 3
WHAT Close to a flood event, but unlikely to cause flood damage.
WHEN From 09:00 to 10:00 PST.
IMPACTS Potential minor flooding in low-lying areas and near shorelines. No significant property damage expected.
On August 29, the high tide at 09:24 is expected to reach a height of approximately 12.038 feet with a barometric pressure of 1005.29 hPa. The wind direction is predominantly from the north-northeast (NNE) with speeds around 5 mph. Although the tide height is lower than historical Category 4 events, the barometric pressure is relatively higher, reducing the likelihood of severe flooding. The NOAA flood likelihood for this date remains low at 0.0%. However, due to the combination of tide height and pressure, it is worth monitoring closely.
CATEGORY 4
WHAT Likely to flood but not cause major property damage.
WHEN From 16:00 to 17:00 PST.
IMPACTS Flooding in low-lying areas and near shorelines is likely. Some property damage possible in vulnerable areas.
On August 30, the high tide at 16:06 is expected to reach a height of approximately 19.163 feet with a barometric pressure of 1003.71 hPa. The wind direction is predominantly from the north (N) with speeds around 10 mph. This combination of high tide and relatively lower barometric pressure increases the risk of flooding compared to previous days. Historical data shows that similar conditions have led to Category 4 events in the past. The NOAA flood likelihood for this date remains low at 0.0%, but given the tide height and pressure, there is a higher risk of 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. It provides a clear categorization of flood potential for each day based on the provided data and historical benchmarks. Always consult local authorities or experts for final decision-making in flood-related situations.
