Redondo Beach, WA
CATEGORY 1
WHAT
No flooding is expected. Conditions are normal with no anticipated risks of coastal flooding.
WHEN
Throughout the day on 2024-10-21.
IMPACTS
No impacts are expected. Normal tidal patterns and weather conditions will prevail.
Barometric Pressure: The mean barometric pressure during the morning high tide at 08:24 is 1008.17 hPa, and during the evening high tide at 18:30 is 1022.80 hPa. These pressures are significantly higher than those recorded during historical flood events (below 992.8 hPa), suggesting stable atmospheric conditions.
Tide Height: The high tides on this day do not reach levels associated with past flooding events. Historical Category 3 events had tide heights around 17.460 ft, whereas current tide heights are lower.
Wind Direction and Speed: Wind speeds are minimal, averaging around 2-4 mph from varying directions, which does not contribute to increased flood risk.
NOAA Flood Likelihood: NOAA indicates a low flood likelihood with a 0.0% chance of flooding and a distance to threshold of -1.5 meters, meaning tides are well below flood-triggering levels.
Comparison with Historical Events: Conditions differ significantly from the Category 3 event on 12/27/2023, which had lower barometric pressure and higher tide heights.
CATEGORY 1
WHAT
No flooding is expected. Normal conditions are anticipated without any coastal flood risks.
WHEN
Throughout the day on 2024-10-22.
IMPACTS
No impacts are expected. Coastal areas should experience typical tidal and weather conditions.
Barometric Pressure: Mean pressures are 1024.03 hPa at the morning high tide (09:30) and 1021.46 hPa at the evening high tide (19:24). These are well above the critical threshold associated with flooding events.
Tide Height: High tides remain below levels noted in historical flooding, such as the Category 4 event with a tide height of 21.506 feet.
Wind Direction and Speed: Wind speeds are low, around 1-6 mph, predominantly from the south and southwest, posing no flood risk.
NOAA Flood Likelihood: NOAA reports a low flood likelihood with a 0.0% chance of flooding and a distance to threshold of -1.79 meters.
Comparison with Historical Events: There is a substantial difference from previous flood events, particularly regarding barometric pressure and tide heights, indicating no expected flooding.
CATEGORY 1
WHAT
No flooding is expected. Conditions remain normal with no anticipated coastal flooding risks.
WHEN
Throughout the day on 2024-10-23.
IMPACTS
No impacts are expected. Usual tidal and weather patterns will continue.
Barometric Pressure: The barometric pressure during the evening high tide at 20:30 is 1014.21 hPa, which is well above the critical low-pressure threshold associated with flooding.
Tide Height: Tide levels do not approach those of historical flooding events. High tides are lower than the 22.297 feet observed during the Category 5 event on 12/27/2022.
Wind Direction and Speed: Wind speeds are minimal, averaging 1-8 mph from various directions, including NNE and WSW, which do not enhance flood risk.
NOAA Flood Likelihood: NOAA indicates a low flood likelihood with a 0.0% chance of flooding and a distance to threshold of -2.0 meters.
Comparison with Historical Events: The current conditions show higher barometric pressures and lower tide heights compared to historical flooding events, suggesting no risk for flooding.
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.
