Flood Watch

Redondo Beach, WA

Day 1: 2024-10-18

CATEGORY 1

WHAT No flooding expected. Normal coastal conditions anticipated.

WHEN No significant flood risk identified for this day.

IMPACTS No impacts expected. Regular tidal and weather conditions.

ADDITIONAL DETAILS...

On 2024-10-18, the barometric pressure during the high tide at 16:36 is approximately 1033.6 hPa, which is significantly higher than the thresholds associated with historical flooding events. The maximum tide height reaches approximately 20.071 ft, which is higher than the Category 3 event but remains below critical levels when combined with the high barometric pressure. Wind speeds are moderate, ranging from 7 to 8 mph, with wind directions between 149° and 187°. NOAA's Flood Likelihood Analysis indicates a low likelihood of flooding with a 0.1% chance and a distance to the flood threshold of -1.22 meters. Compared to historical data, these conditions do not pose a flood risk, placing the day in Category 1.

Day 2: 2024-10-19

CATEGORY 1

WHAT No flooding expected. Normal coastal conditions anticipated.

WHEN No significant flood risk identified for this day.

IMPACTS No impacts expected. Regular tidal and weather conditions.

ADDITIONAL DETAILS...

On 2024-10-19, the barometric pressure remains high, measuring around 1034.04 hPa during the high tide at 06:18. The maximum tide height is similar to the previous day. Despite the higher wind speeds ranging from 15 to 19 mph and wind directions predominantly from the south (185° to 189°), the high barometric pressure and moderate tide heights reduce the flood risk. NOAA's Flood Likelihood Analysis shows a 0.0% chance of flooding with a distance to the flood threshold of -1.39 meters. When compared to historical events, the conditions on this day indicate no flood risk, resulting in a Category 1 assessment.

Day 3: 2024-10-20

CATEGORY 1

WHAT No flooding expected. Normal coastal conditions anticipated.

WHEN No significant flood risk identified for this day.

IMPACTS No impacts expected. Regular tidal and weather conditions.

ADDITIONAL DETAILS...

On 2024-10-20, the barometric pressure during the high tides at 07:18 and 17:48 is approximately 1018.88 hPa, which is still well above the critical threshold associated with significant flooding. The tide heights are within normal ranges and do not pose a substantial flood risk. Wind speeds are moderate, reaching up to 21 mph, with wind directions from the south and southwest (up to 213°). Light rain is expected throughout the day, but without the combination of low barometric pressure and extreme tide heights, the flood risk remains minimal. NOAA's Flood Likelihood Analysis indicates a 0.0% chance of flooding with a distance to the flood threshold of -1.34 meters. Therefore, this day is also assessed as Category 1.

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

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.
