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.
The barometric pressure for the high tides on this day is significantly higher than the critical threshold of 992.8 hPa, with readings of 1022.31 hPa and 1024.24 hPa. The tide heights are also below the critical levels observed in historical severe flood events. Wind speeds are low, and the wind direction does not indicate a significant risk of exacerbating flooding conditions. NOAA's flood likelihood analysis also indicates a low risk for this day.
CATEGORY 3
WHAT Moderate coastal flooding possible. Potential inundation of up to 2 feet above ground level near shorelines and low-lying areas.
WHEN From 07:00 AM to 07:00 PM PST.
IMPACTS Moderate flooding of low-lying areas, parks, and roads. Some road closures possible.
The barometric pressure for the high tides on this day is slightly lower than the previous day but still above the critical threshold, with readings of 1018.92 hPa and 1022.15 hPa. The tide heights are approaching levels seen in historical Category 3 events. Wind speeds remain low, and the wind direction is not a significant concern. NOAA's flood likelihood analysis continues to indicate a low risk, but the combination of slightly lower pressure and higher tides warrants closer monitoring.
CATEGORY 3
WHAT Moderate coastal flooding possible. Potential inundation of up to 2 feet above ground level near shorelines and low-lying areas.
WHEN From 08:00 AM to 08:00 PM PST.
IMPACTS Moderate flooding of low-lying areas, parks, and roads. Some road closures possible.
The barometric pressure for the high tides on this day is lower than the previous days but still above the critical threshold, with readings of 1016.77 hPa for both high tides. The tide heights are significant but not at extreme levels seen in Category 4 or higher events. Wind speeds remain moderate, and the wind direction does not indicate a significant risk of exacerbating flooding conditions. NOAA's flood likelihood analysis continues to indicate a low risk, but the combination of lower pressure and higher tides warrants closer monitoring.
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 potential for minor to moderate coastal flooding over the next three days, the conditions do not suggest a high risk of severe flooding based on historical data comparisons and current weather parameters. Always stay updated with local authorities for real-time information and advisories.
