Redondo Beach, WA
CATEGORY 1
WHAT No risk of flooding expected. Normal tidal and weather conditions are anticipated with no significant coastal impacts.
WHEN Stable conditions expected throughout the day.
IMPACTS No expected impacts. Coastal areas will experience typical conditions without any flooding concerns.
Barometric Pressure: The mean pressure at the time of the high tide on 2024-10-18 at 16:36 is 1034.26 hPa, which is significantly higher than pressures associated with past flooding events (e.g., Category 4 events had pressures below 1002 hPa). High barometric pressure reduces the likelihood of flooding.
Tide Height: While the tide data indicates a high tide, the maximum tide height does not exceed 20.07 ft at 16:36, which is below the thresholds observed during historical flooding events such as the Category 4 event on 11/15/2021 with a tide height of 21.506 ft.
Wind Conditions: Wind speeds are moderate, averaging around 12 km/h (8 mph) from the SSE (159°) direction. This is less extreme than wind conditions during past flooding events and is not expected to contribute to flooding.
NOAA Flood Likelihood: NOAA's analysis indicates a low flood likelihood of 0.1%, with the water level being 1.22 meters below the flood threshold. This suggests minimal risk of flooding.
Comparing these conditions with historical data, current factors do not align with those that led to past flooding events. The combination of high barometric pressure, tide heights below critical levels, moderate wind speeds, and low NOAA flood likelihood indicates that flooding is not expected on this day.

WHAT No risk of flooding expected. Normal tidal and weather conditions are anticipated with no significant coastal impacts.
WHEN Stable conditions expected throughout the day.
IMPACTS No expected impacts. Coastal areas will experience typical conditions without any flooding concerns.
Barometric Pressure: The mean pressure at the time of the high tide on 2024-10-19 at 06:18 is 1034.30 hPa, well above the critical low-pressure thresholds associated with flooding events. High pressure suggests stable weather conditions.
Tide Height: The anticipated tide heights do not reach the levels recorded in historical flooding events. The maximum tide height is below the critical 21 ft threshold necessary for increased flood risk.
Wind Conditions: Wind speeds are moderate, with gusts up to 33 km/h (20 mph) from the SSW (195°) direction. This is less severe than wind conditions during historical flood events and is unlikely to contribute to flooding.
NOAA Flood Likelihood: NOAA's analysis indicates a flood likelihood of 0.0%, with the water level being 1.39 meters below the flood threshold. This confirms a minimal risk of flooding.
Analysis shows that all key indicators are within normal ranges. There is no significant deviation from historical norms that would suggest an increased flood risk on this day.

WHEN Stable conditions expected throughout the day.
IMPACTS No expected impacts. Coastal areas will experience typical conditions without any flooding concerns.
Barometric Pressure: The mean pressure at the times of high tides on 2024-10-20 is 1019.82 hPa, which remains above the critical threshold of 992.8 hPa associated with flooding. While slightly lower than the previous days, it is still indicative of stable atmospheric conditions.
Tide Height: Tide heights are not expected to exceed critical levels. The maximum tide height remains below 19.88 ft, which is under the tide heights observed in Category 4 and 5 historical flood events.
Wind Conditions: Wind speeds are relatively low, averaging around 15 km/h (9 mph) with gusts up to 38 km/h (23 mph) from the S (190°) direction. Wind conditions are not expected to contribute to flooding.
Precipitation: There is an increased chance of rain, with forecasts indicating up to 9.1 mm of precipitation. However, given the high barometric pressure and moderate tide heights, this is unlikely to cause flooding.
NOAA Flood Likelihood: NOAA's analysis shows a flood likelihood of 0.0%, with the water level being 1.34 meters below the flood threshold. This suggests that flooding is not anticipated.
Despite the slight increase in precipitation, all other factors remain within normal ranges. The barometric pressure is still well above the critical level, and tide heights do not reach those associated with past flooding events. Therefore, the risk of flooding remains low.
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.
