Redondo Beach, WA
CATEGORY 2
WHAT No risk of flooding is expected. High tides will reach up to 18.953 feet, but with high barometric pressure and low flood likelihood, flooding is not anticipated.
WHEN Peak high tide around 2:12 PM PST.
IMPACTS No significant impacts are expected for coastal areas.
Barometric Pressure: The mean sea-level pressure is 1016.51 hPa, which is significantly higher than pressures observed during past flood events. This high pressure indicates stable atmospheric conditions, reducing the likelihood of severe weather that could contribute to flooding.
Tide Height: The maximum tide height is forecasted at 18.953 feet. While this is higher than the Category 3 event on 12/27/2023 (17.460 feet), the combination with high barometric pressure suggests a low flood risk.
Wind Direction and Speed: Winds are from the south-southwest (SSW) at approximately 13 mph. This wind speed and direction are typical and do not pose an increased flood risk compared to historical events.
NOAA Flood Likelihood: NOAA indicates a low flood likelihood with a 0.0% chance and a distance to the flood threshold of -2.22 meters. This means water levels are expected to remain well below flooding conditions.
Historical Comparison: Compared to the Category 3 event on 12/27/2023, today's higher barometric pressure and similar tide heights suggest even less likelihood of flooding.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT No risk of flooding is expected. High tides will reach up to 18.898 feet, with stable weather conditions minimizing flood potential.
WHEN Peak high tide around 2:36 PM PST.
IMPACTS No significant impacts are expected for coastal areas.
Barometric Pressure: The mean sea-level pressure is 1016.42 hPa, remaining high and indicating stable atmospheric conditions.
Tide Height: The maximum tide height is forecasted at 18.898 feet. This is slightly lower than Day 1 and remains below levels associated with historical flooding.
Wind Direction and Speed: Winds are from the south (S) at approximately 8-10 mph, which are lower than wind speeds observed during past flood events.
NOAA Flood Likelihood: NOAA reports a low flood likelihood with a 0.0% chance and a distance to the flood threshold of -2.34 meters.
Historical Comparison: Conditions are less severe than those during the Category 3 event on 12/27/2023, due to higher barometric pressure and lower wind speeds.
CATEGORY 1
WHAT No risk of flooding is expected. High tides will reach up to 18.840 feet, with very high barometric pressure further reducing any flood potential.
WHEN Peak high tide around 2:54 PM PST.
IMPACTS No significant impacts are expected for coastal areas.
Barometric Pressure: The mean sea-level pressure is 1015.59 hPa, which is higher than pressures observed during any of the historical flood events.
Tide Height: The maximum tide height is forecasted at 18.840 feet, slightly lower than the previous two days.
Wind Direction and Speed: Winds are light and from the south (S) at approximately 3-5 mph, indicating calm conditions.
NOAA Flood Likelihood: NOAA indicates a low flood likelihood with a 0.0% chance and a distance to the flood threshold of -2.33 meters.
Historical Comparison: Today's conditions are significantly less severe than any historical flood events, with high barometric pressure and lower tide heights contributing to a negligible flood risk.
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.
