Redondo Beach, WA
CATEGORY 2
WHAT No risk of flooding expected. Normal tidal conditions anticipated.
WHEN Throughout the day on 2024-10-26.
IMPACTS No impacts expected. Coastal areas should experience typical conditions without any flooding concerns.
Barometric Pressure: The pressure is 1026.02 hPa, which is significantly higher than pressures associated with historical flood events (e.g., Category 5 event had pressures around 978.4 hPa). High barometric pressure suggests stable atmospheric conditions and a lower likelihood of severe weather.
Tide Height: The highest tide is approximately 18.985 feet at 1:42 PM. While this tide height is notable, it is occurring alongside high barometric pressure, reducing the risk of flooding. Historical flooding events occurred with higher tide heights and significantly lower pressure.
Wind Direction and Speed: Wind data indicates calm conditions with no significant winds that could contribute to coastal flooding.
NOAA Flood Likelihood: NOAA's forecast indicates a low flood likelihood with a 0.0% chance and a distance to threshold of -2.22 meters, suggesting tides well below levels of concern.
Based on the analysis of these factors, the flood risk for Day 1 is categorized as Category 2.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT No risk of flooding expected. Normal tidal conditions anticipated.
WHEN Throughout the day on 2024-10-27.
IMPACTS No impacts expected. Coastal areas should experience typical conditions without any flooding concerns.
Barometric Pressure: The pressure is 1015.97 hPa, still higher than pressures associated with historical flooding events. This elevated pressure indicates stable weather conditions.
Tide Height: The highest tide is approximately 18.951 feet at 2:06 PM. Similar to Day 1, the tide height is occurring with relatively high barometric pressure, reducing flood risk.
Wind Direction and Speed: Wind data does not indicate any significant impact on tide levels or potential flooding.
NOAA Flood Likelihood: NOAA's forecast shows a low flood likelihood with a 0.0% chance and a distance to threshold of -2.22 meters.
Comparing these conditions with historical data, the flood risk remains low. Therefore, Day 2 is categorized as Category 2.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT No risk of flooding expected. Normal tidal conditions anticipated.
WHEN Throughout the day on 2024-10-28.
IMPACTS No impacts expected. Coastal areas should experience typical conditions without any flooding concerns.
Barometric Pressure: The pressure is 1014.78 hPa, which is still above the thresholds observed in historical flood events. This suggests a low likelihood of severe weather contributing to flooding.
Tide Height: The highest tide is approximately 18.811 feet at 2:06 PM. While tides are moderately high, the accompanying barometric pressure does not indicate elevated risk.
Wind Direction and Speed: No significant winds from directions that could exacerbate tidal effects are forecasted.
NOAA Flood Likelihood: NOAA indicates a low flood likelihood with a 0.0% chance and a distance to threshold of -2.34 meters.
Based on these observations and comparisons with historical events, the flood risk for Day 3 remains low, and it is categorized as Category 2.
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.
