Redondo Beach, WA
CATEGORY 2
WHAT No risk of flooding is expected.
WHEN No specific time frame; normal tidal conditions anticipated.
IMPACTS No impacts anticipated. Coastal areas should experience typical conditions without any flooding concerns.
The barometric pressure at the time of the high tide (13:36 PST) is 1022.58 hPa, which is significantly higher than during any historical flooding events in the area. The tide height is expected to reach 19.488 feet, which is below the levels associated with past flood events (e.g., the Category 4 event with a tide height of 21.506 feet). Wind speeds are moderate at around 10 mph from the south, and NOAA's flood likelihood is low at 0.2% with a significant distance below the flood threshold. Comparing these conditions with historical data indicates that flooding is not expected on this day.
CATEGORY 3
WHAT Conditions are close to a flood event and worth monitoring, but flooding is unlikely to cause damage.
WHEN From 1:00 PM to 3:00 PM PST, around the time of the high tide at 14:06 PST.
IMPACTS Minor flooding of very low-lying and vulnerable areas is possible. Inundation of up to 0.2 feet above ground level near shorelines and low-lying spots may occur, but significant property damage is not expected.
The barometric pressure during the high tide is 1016.29 hPa, which remains higher than pressures observed during historical flood events (e.g., Category 3 event at 1006.1 hPa). The tide height is forecasted to reach 20.199 feet, slightly higher than Day 1 and approaching levels seen in past minor flood events. Wind speeds are moderate at approximately 9 mph from the south-southeast. NOAA's flood likelihood is low at 1.4%, with the tide level still 0.95 meters below the flooding threshold. While the tide height is notable, the combination with relatively high barometric pressure and moderate winds suggests that significant flooding is unlikely. However, it is advisable to remain alert, especially in traditionally vulnerable areas.
CATEGORY 3
WHAT Conditions remain close to a flood event and worth monitoring, but flooding is unlikely to cause damage.
WHEN From 1:30 PM to 3:30 PM PST, around the time of the high tide at 14:42 PST.
IMPACTS Minor flooding of very low-lying and vulnerable areas is possible. Isolated instances of standing water near shorelines and low-lying areas may occur, without significant impacts on property or infrastructure.
The barometric pressure at the time of high tide is expected to be 1019.05 hPa, slightly higher than Day 2 but still well above the low pressures associated with historical flooding events. The tide height is forecasted at 20.324 feet, marginally higher than the previous day. Wind speeds are moderate, around 7 mph from the south-southwest. NOAA's flood likelihood remains low at 1.7%, with the tide level 0.91 meters below the flood threshold. The slight increase in tide height does not significantly raise the flood risk due to the continued presence of high barometric pressure and lack of strong winds from directions that typically exacerbate flooding. Vigilance is recommended for those in low-lying coastal areas.
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.
