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 06:00 AM to 07:00 PM PST.
IMPACTS Minor flooding of low-lying areas, parks, and roads. Isolated road closures possible.
On September 6th, the high tide at 06:36 AM is expected to reach a height of approximately 17.065 feet with a barometric pressure of 1007.18 hPa. The second high tide at 18:36 PM will reach around 18.695 feet with a barometric pressure of 1011.14 hPa. The barometric pressures are relatively high compared to historical severe flood events, reducing the likelihood of significant flooding. Wind speeds are moderate, and the wind direction is from the north-northwest, which is not typically associated with severe coastal flooding in this region.
CATEGORY 3
WHAT Close to a flood event, but unlikely to cause significant damage.
WHEN From 07:00 AM to 08:00 PM PST.
IMPACTS Potential minor flooding in low-lying areas and near shorelines. Some roads may experience temporary closures.
On September 7th, the high tide at 07:24 AM is expected to reach approximately 17.441 feet with a barometric pressure of 1004.87 hPa. The second high tide at 19:00 PM will reach around 18.436 feet with a barometric pressure of 1011.42 hPa. The morning high tide combined with lower barometric pressure increases the risk slightly compared to Day 1 but remains below the threshold for significant flooding. Wind conditions are similar to Day 1, with no extreme wind speeds or directions that would exacerbate flooding risks.
CATEGORY 3
WHAT Close to a flood event, but unlikely to cause significant damage.
WHEN From 03:00 AM to 08:00 PM PST.
IMPACTS Potential minor flooding in low-lying areas and near shorelines. Some roads may experience temporary closures.
On September 8th, the high tide at 03:00 AM is expected to reach approximately 17.379 feet with a barometric pressure of 1009.18 hPa. The second high tide at 19:24 PM will reach around 18.066 feet with a barometric pressure of 1006.82 hPa. The combination of moderate high tides and slightly lower barometric pressures compared to previous days suggests a continued risk of minor flooding, particularly in low-lying areas and near shorelines. Wind conditions remain moderate and do not significantly contribute 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.
This analysis indicates that while there is some risk of minor coastal flooding over the next three days, it is not expected to be severe or cause significant property damage based on the provided data and historical comparisons.
