Flood Watch

Redondo Beach, WA

Day 1: 2024-09-21

CATEGORY 2

WHAT No significant coastal flooding expected. Conditions are stable with high barometric pressure and moderate tide levels.

WHEN From 06:00 AM to 07:00 PM PST.

IMPACTS Minimal impacts expected. No significant flooding of low-lying areas, parks, or roads anticipated.

ADDITIONAL DETAILS...

The barometric pressure on 2024-09-21 is relatively high (1022.2 hPa at the highest tide), which suggests stable weather conditions. The highest tide level is 19.649 feet at 18:36, which is below the critical threshold observed in historical severe flood events. Wind speeds are low, and the NOAA flood likelihood is 0.0%, indicating no significant risk of flooding.

Day 2: 2024-09-22

CATEGORY 3

WHAT Close to a flood event but unlikely to cause significant damage. Monitoring is advised.

WHEN From 07:00 AM to 08:00 PM PST.

IMPACTS Minor flooding of low-lying areas, parks, and roads possible. Isolated road closures may occur.

ADDITIONAL DETAILS...

On 2024-09-22, the barometric pressure drops slightly to around 1016.84 hPa at the highest tide of 18.975 feet at 19:12. This is still above the critical threshold for severe weather conditions but warrants monitoring due to the lower pressure and higher tide levels compared to Day 1. Wind speeds remain low, and NOAA's flood likelihood remains at 0.0%, suggesting a low risk of significant flooding.

Day 3: 2024-09-23

CATEGORY 4

WHAT Likely to flood but not cause major property damage. Increased vigilance required.

WHEN From 04:00 AM to 08:00 PM PST.

IMPACTS Potential for minor property damage and more extensive flooding of low-lying areas, parks, and roads. Road closures likely in affected areas.

ADDITIONAL DETAILS...

On 2024-09-23, the barometric pressure further decreases to around 1010.58 hPa at the highest tide of 18.476 feet at 20:00. This combination of lower pressure and high tide height increases the risk of flooding compared to previous days. Although still above the critical threshold for severe weather conditions, this day presents a higher risk due to the cumulative effect of lower pressure and sustained high tides. NOAA's flood likelihood remains at 0.0%, but historical comparisons suggest increased vigilance is necessary.
