Redondo Beach, WA
CATEGORY 3
WHAT Minor coastal flooding possible. Tide levels may rise up to 20.258 feet, approaching levels that have previously led to minor flooding. Low-lying areas near the shoreline may experience some inundation.
WHEN From 2:00 PM to 4:00 PM PST.
IMPACTS Minor flooding of low-lying areas, including parks and roads near the coast. Isolated road closures are possible due to water on roadways.
Barometric pressure during the high tide at 3:12 PM is expected to be around 1013.93 hPa, which is higher than pressures associated with historical severe flood events. The tide height is anticipated to reach 20.258 feet, which is higher than the historical Category 3 event but lower than the Category 4 event. Wind speeds are low, with winds from the NW at approximately 5 mph, reducing the potential for significant coastal flooding. NOAA's Flood Likelihood for this date is low at 1.6%, further indicating that significant flooding is unlikely. Based on these factors, flooding is close to a flood event and worth monitoring but is unlikely to cause flood damage.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT No significant risk of flooding expected. High tides will be lower than the previous day, and weather conditions are stable.
WHEN No flood risk time frame.
IMPACTS No flooding impacts anticipated. Normal tidal and weather conditions expected.
High tides on this day are forecasted to reach up to 20.157 feet at 5:36 AM and 19.981 feet at 3:48 PM. Barometric pressures are higher, ranging from 1022.77 hPa to 1025.56 hPa, indicating stable atmospheric conditions. Wind speeds are moderate, with winds from the SSE at 8-12 mph, but not significant enough to impact coastal conditions. NOAA's Flood Likelihood is low at 0.8%, and the distance to the flood threshold is greater than on Day 1. Based on these factors, there is no substantial risk of flooding.
CATEGORY 3
WHAT Minor coastal flooding possible. Tide levels may reach up to 20.498 feet, similar to levels that have previously led to minor flooding. Low-lying coastal areas may experience some inundation.
WHEN From 6:00 AM to 8:00 AM PST.
IMPACTS Minor flooding of low-lying coastal areas and roads. Possible isolated road closures due to water on roadways.
The high tide at 6:30 AM is expected to reach 20.498 feet. Barometric pressure during this time is forecasted to be around 1003 hPa, which is higher than pressures associated with historical severe flooding events but lower than the previous days. Wind speeds are higher on this day, with winds from the SSW at 13-14 mph, which could contribute to higher surf and minor coastal flooding. NOAA's Flood Likelihood is slightly higher at 3.4%, with the distance to threshold being -0.77 meters, indicating tides are closer to the flooding threshold compared to previous days. While conditions are closer to a flood event, significant flooding and property damage are unlikely.
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.
