Flood Watch

Redondo Beach, WA

DayInfo1: Day 1: 2024-10-21

CATEGORY 3

WHAT Minor coastal flooding possible. Tide levels are expected to approach thresholds that have previously led to minor flooding.

WHEN From 7:00 AM to 9:00 AM PST.

IMPACTS Minor inundation of low-lying areas, beaches, and shorelines. Some roads near the coast may experience pooling of water.

ADDITIONAL DETAILS...

On 2024-10-21, the highest tide is forecasted at approximately 19.716 feet around 8:24 AM, which is higher than the historical Category 3 event tide of 17.460 feet. The barometric pressure at this time is expected to be 1008.08 hPa, which is slightly higher than the pressure during the historical Category 3 event (1006.1 hPa) and significantly higher than in severe flood events. Wind speeds are low at around 5 mph from the south-southwest (200°), which is not a significant factor for increased flooding risk. NOAA's Flood Likelihood is low at 0.0%, with a distance of -1.5 meters below the flood threshold. Based on these factors, minor coastal flooding is possible but significant property damage is unlikely.

DayInfo2: Day 2: 2024-10-22

CATEGORY 2

WHAT No flooding expected. Tidal and weather conditions are within normal ranges.

WHEN

IMPACTS No significant impacts anticipated.

ADDITIONAL DETAILS...

For 2024-10-22, the maximum tide height is forecasted at approximately 19.439 feet around 9:30 AM, slightly lower than Day 1. The barometric pressure during the high tide is expected to be 1023.57 hPa, which is considerably higher than pressures associated with past flooding events. Wind speeds are modest at about 6 mph from the south-southwest (205°). NOAA's Flood Likelihood remains low at 0.0%, with a distance of -1.79 meters below the flood threshold. Given these conditions, flooding is not expected.

DayInfo3: Day 3: 2024-10-23

CATEGORY 2

WHAT No flooding expected. Tidal and weather conditions are within normal ranges.

WHEN

IMPACTS No significant impacts anticipated.

ADDITIONAL DETAILS...

On 2024-10-23, the highest tide is projected at approximately 19.178 feet around 10:42 AM. The barometric pressure at the time of high tide is forecasted to be 1014.19 hPa, which is higher than in historical flood events but slightly lower than Day 2. Wind speeds are low, and wind direction is from the north (0° to 24°), which does not contribute significantly to flood risk. NOAA's Flood Likelihood continues to be low at 0.0%, with a distance of -2.0 meters below the flood threshold. Flooding is not expected under these conditions.

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.
