Redondo Beach, WA
CATEGORY 3
WHAT Minor coastal flooding possible. Inundation of up to 1 foot above ground level near shorelines and low-lying areas.
WHEN From 2:00 PM to 4:00 PM PST.
IMPACTS Minor flooding of low-lying areas, parks, and roads. Isolated road closures possible.
A high tide of approximately 20.26 feet is expected around 3:12 PM, coinciding with a barometric pressure of about 1013 hPa. Wind speeds are low, around 4 mph from the southwest. NOAA's Flood Likelihood is low at 1.6%. While the tide height is higher than previous Category 3 events, the higher barometric pressure and low wind speeds reduce the overall flood risk. Compared to historical events, conditions align with a Category 3 event, warranting monitoring but not major concern.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT No risk of flooding. Tidal conditions are expected to remain within normal ranges.
WHEN No significant flood risk expected throughout the day.
IMPACTS No flooding impacts expected.
High tides are forecasted to reach about 20.15 feet in the early morning and 19.98 feet in the afternoon, with barometric pressures of 1021 hPa and 1024 hPa respectively. These pressures are significantly higher than those associated with historical flooding events. Wind speeds remain low, and NOAA's Flood Likelihood is very low at 0.8%. All factors indicate no flood risk for this day.
CATEGORY 4
WHAT Moderate coastal flooding likely. Possible inundation of up to 2 feet above ground level near shorelines and low-lying areas.
WHEN From 5:00 AM to 7:00 AM PST.
IMPACTS Flooding of low-lying areas, parks, and local roads is likely. Some property damage is possible in vulnerable areas.
A high tide of approximately 20.50 feet is expected around 6:30 AM, with a barometric pressure decreasing to about 1003 hPa. Wind speeds increase to around 14 mph from the south-southwest. NOAA's Flood Likelihood is low at 3.4%, but the combination of higher wind speeds and lowering barometric pressure elevates the flood risk. These conditions are similar to historical Category 4 events, suggesting moderate concern for flooding in susceptible 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.
