Flood Watch

Redondo Beach, WA

Day 1: 2024-10-23

CATEGORY 3

WHAT Minor coastal flooding possible due to high tide levels reaching up to 19.18 feet.

WHEN From 9:00 AM to 12:00 PM PST.

IMPACTS Minor flooding of low-lying areas near shorelines may occur. No significant property damage is expected.

ADDITIONAL DETAILS...

The barometric pressure during the high tide is expected to be around 1019.49 hPa, which is higher than during past severe flood events, suggesting less severe weather conditions. The tide height of 19.18 ft is higher than the historical Category 3 event on 12/27/2023, which had a tide height of 17.46 ft and a lower pressure of 1006.1 hPa. Wind speeds are low, and wind direction is not expected to exacerbate flooding conditions. NOAA's Flood Likelihood is low at 0.0%, indicating minimal risk. Compared to historical data, while the tide height is significant, the high barometric pressure reduces the overall flood risk.

Day 2: 2024-10-24

CATEGORY 2

WHAT No significant flooding expected. High tide levels reaching up to 19.04 feet.

WHEN From 11:00 AM to 1:00 PM PST.

IMPACTS No substantial flooding is anticipated.

ADDITIONAL DETAILS...

The barometric pressure is forecasted to be around 1022.07 hPa during the high tide, which is significantly higher than pressures associated with past flooding events. The tide height is slightly lower than Day 1. Wind speeds remain low, and wind direction does not pose additional flood risk. NOAA's Flood Likelihood remains low at 0.0%. When compared to historical events, the combination of high pressure and moderate tide heights suggests a minimal flood risk.

Day 3: 2024-10-25

CATEGORY 2

WHAT No significant flooding expected. High tide levels reaching up to 19.00 feet.

WHEN From 12:00 PM to 3:00 PM PST.

IMPACTS No substantial flooding is anticipated.

ADDITIONAL DETAILS...

Barometric pressure is expected to be around 1027.22 hPa, indicating stable and non-threatening weather conditions. The tide height is comparable to Day 2. Wind speeds are low, and wind direction is not expected to impact flood potential. NOAA's Flood Likelihood continues to be low at 0.0%. Compared to historical data, the conditions do not align with those that have caused flooding in the past, suggesting no significant flood risk for Day 3.
