Redondo Beach, WA
CATEGORY 2
WHAT No risk of flooding expected. Regular coastal conditions with high tides reaching up to 20.3 feet.
WHEN High tides will occur at approximately 3:42 AM and 2:42 PM PST.
IMPACTS No significant impacts anticipated. Normal tidal fluctuations with no expected flooding in low-lying areas.
Barometric Pressure: The barometric pressure is high at 1023.53 hPa during the afternoon high tide, significantly above the low-pressure thresholds associated with past flooding events. This indicates stable atmospheric conditions with a low likelihood of flooding.
Tide Height: The expected tide height peaks at 20.3 feet, which is below the levels observed in historical Category 4 and 5 events (over 21 feet). Although higher than the Category 3 event's tide height of 17.46 feet, the accompanying high barometric pressure reduces flood risk.
Wind: Wind speeds are minimal, around 3 mph from the south. This is considerably less than the wind speeds during historical flooding events, such as the 23.3 mph winds in the Category 4 event on 11/15/2021.
NOAA Flood Likelihood: NOAA's flood likelihood is low at 1.7%, significantly lower than the 8.4% observed in the historical Category 3 event on 12/27/2023.
Comparison with Historical Data: Compared to past events, the combination of high barometric pressure and tide heights below critical levels indicates no substantial flood risk for Day 1.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT No risk of flooding expected. Normal coastal conditions with high tides reaching up to 20.2 feet.
WHEN High tides will occur at approximately 4:42 AM and 3:12 PM PST.
IMPACTS No significant impacts anticipated. Standard tidal patterns with no expected flooding.
Barometric Pressure: Barometric pressure is forecasted at 1014.14 hPa during the afternoon high tide, well above thresholds associated with flooding risks. This suggests stable weather conditions.
Tide Height: Tide heights are expected to reach up to 20.2 feet, below the critical 21-foot level observed in historical Category 4 events.
Wind: Wind speeds remain low, around 2 mph from the northwest, posing no additional flood risk.
NOAA Flood Likelihood: NOAA indicates a low flood likelihood of 1.6%, further suggesting minimal flood risk.
Comparison with Historical Data: The combination of moderate tide heights and higher barometric pressure differs from conditions during past flooding events, indicating no substantial flood risk for Day 2.
CATEGORY 1
WHAT No risk of flooding expected. Regular tidal conditions with high tides reaching up to 20.0 feet.
WHEN High tides will occur at approximately 5:36 AM and 3:48 PM PST.
IMPACTS No significant impacts anticipated. No flooding expected in coastal or low-lying areas.
Barometric Pressure: Very high barometric pressures of 1025.27 hPa are forecasted during the afternoon high tide, indicating stable atmospheric conditions and a minimal risk of flooding.
Tide Height: Expected tide heights peak at 20.0 feet, lower than the previous days and well below the 21-foot threshold associated with higher flood risk in historical events.
Wind: Wind speeds are slightly higher at around 8 mph from the southeast but remain insufficient to contribute significantly to flood risk.
NOAA Flood Likelihood: NOAA reports a very low flood likelihood of 0.8%, the lowest among the three days, indicating negligible flood risk.
Comparison with Historical Data: The conditions on Day 3 do not match those of past flooding events. High barometric pressure and moderate tide heights suggest no substantial 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.
