Redondo Beach, WA
CATEGORY 3
WHAT Conditions are close to a minor coastal flood event. High tides may cause water levels to approach minor flood thresholds in low-lying coastal areas.
WHEN From 1:00 PM to 3:00 PM PST on November 13th.
IMPACTS Minimal impacts expected. Low-lying areas along the coast may experience minor water inundation, but significant property damage is unlikely.
The barometric pressure during the high tide on November 13th is around 1000 hPa, which is significantly higher than pressures observed during historical severe flood events (e.g., Category 5 event at 978.4 hPa). The predicted tide height is 20.217 ft, higher than the historical Category 3 event (17.460 ft) but lower than Category 4 events. Wind speeds are moderate, approximately 10-12 mph, coming from the south (wind direction 177°). NOAA's flood likelihood is low at 1.4%, with the water level being 0.95 meters below the flood threshold. While the tide height suggests a need for monitoring, the higher barometric pressure and moderate wind conditions indicate that significant flooding is unlikely.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT No risk of flooding. Regular tidal conditions are expected.
WHEN Throughout the day on November 14th.
IMPACTS No flooding impacts are anticipated.
On November 14th, the barometric pressure is higher at approximately 1024 hPa during the high tide, indicating stable weather conditions. The expected tide height is 20.324 ft, similar to Day 1, but the higher pressure reduces the flood risk. Wind speeds are low, under 5 mph, with wind direction varying from southeast to east. NOAA's flood likelihood remains low at 1.7%, with the water level 0.91 meters below the flood threshold. Based on these factors and compared to historical data, flooding is not expected.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT No risk of flooding. Regular tidal conditions are expected.
WHEN Throughout the day on November 15th.
IMPACTS No flooding impacts are anticipated.
The barometric pressure on November 15th is around 1014.9 hPa during the high tide, which is still higher than pressures associated with historical flood events. The anticipated tide height is 20.258 ft. Wind speeds are minimal, generally under 5 mph, with variable wind directions. NOAA's flood likelihood is low at 1.6%, with the water level 0.94 meters below the flood threshold. Given the stable atmospheric conditions and moderate tide levels, no flooding is expected.
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.
