HEADING: Flood Watch

Redondo Beach, WA

DayInfo1: Day 1: 2024-11-20

CATEGORY 3

WHAT Minor coastal flooding possible during high tide periods. Possible inundation of up to 1 foot above ground level near shorelines and low-lying areas.

WHEN From 08:00 AM to 10:00 AM PST.

IMPACTS Minor flooding of low-lying areas, parks, and roads. Isolated road closures possible.

ADDITIONAL DETAILS...

On 2024-11-20, the high tide is expected to reach approximately 20.061 ft at 09:00 AM, which is higher than the tide height observed during the historical Category 3 event (17.460 ft). However, the barometric pressure is measured at 1016.92 hPa during the morning high tide, which is significantly higher than in past severe events. This high pressure suggests stable atmospheric conditions, reducing the likelihood of severe flooding. NOAA's Flood Likelihood Analysis indicates a low flood likelihood of 0.6% with a distance to threshold of -1.1m. Wind speeds are moderate, and wind direction is not expected to exacerbate flooding conditions. Based on these factors, minor coastal flooding is possible, but significant property damage is unlikely.


DayInfo2: Day 2: 2024-11-21

CATEGORY 2

WHAT No significant flooding expected. Normal tidal conditions anticipated.

WHEN

IMPACTS No flooding impacts expected.

ADDITIONAL DETAILS...

The high tide on 2024-11-21 is expected to peak at approximately 19.762 ft at 10:00 AM, slightly lower than the previous day. The barometric pressure is even higher at 1026.34 hPa in the morning and 1032.74 hPa in the evening, indicating very stable atmospheric conditions. NOAA's Flood Likelihood Analysis shows a low flood likelihood of 0.1% with a distance to threshold of -1.4m. Wind conditions remain mild with no significant impact expected. Comparing these observations with historical data, there is no substantial risk of flooding on this day.


DayInfo3: Day 3: 2024-11-22

CATEGORY 2

WHAT No significant flooding expected. Normal tidal conditions anticipated.

WHEN

IMPACTS No flooding impacts expected.

ADDITIONAL DETAILS...

On 2024-11-22, the high tide is forecasted to reach approximately 19.512 ft at 11:00 AM. Barometric pressure remains high at 1031.92 hPa during both high tides, suggesting continued stable weather conditions. NOAA's Flood Likelihood Analysis indicates a low flood likelihood of 0.0% with a distance to threshold of -1.65m. Wind speeds and directions do not pose additional risks. Based on historical comparisons and current data, significant flooding is not anticipated.


PA: PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

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.
