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 04:00 AM to 06:00 AM PST and from 05:00 PM to 07:00 PM PST.
IMPACTS Minor flooding of low-lying areas, parks, and roads. Isolated road closures possible.
The high tide at 04:24 AM on 2024-09-03 is expected to reach a height of approximately 17.199 feet with a mean pressure MSL of 1004.42 hPa. The high tide at 05:36 PM on the same day is expected to reach a height of approximately 18.887 feet with a mean pressure MSL of 1001.49 hPa. These conditions are similar to the Category 3 event on 12/27/2023 but with slightly higher barometric pressure, reducing the likelihood of severe flooding. Wind speeds are moderate, and the wind direction is not significantly contributing to increased flood risk.

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:
All pressures are significantly higher than the critical threshold (992.8 hPa), indicating less severe weather conditions.
Evaluate Tide Height:
These heights are below the critical threshold for severe flooding (>21 ft).
Consider Wind Direction:
Wind directions are not significantly contributing to increased flood risk based on historical data comparisons.
Integrate NOAA High Tide Flooding Likelihood:
NOAA's flood likelihood for Seattle, WA indicates low risk for all three days with likelihood percentages at or near zero.
