Flood Watch

Redondo Beach, WA

Day 1: 2024-12-11

CATEGORY 2

WHAT Minor tidal fluctuations expected during high tide periods. No significant flooding anticipated.

WHEN Around high tides at 01:36 AM and 09:54 PM PST on December 11, 2024.

IMPACTS No expected impacts to coastal areas or infrastructure.

ADDITIONAL DETAILS...

Barometric pressure remains high at approximately 1028 hPa during the high tides, significantly higher than pressures associated with historical flood events. The maximum tide height reaches about 20.369 ft, below levels that have previously caused flooding. Wind speeds are low, ranging from 2 to 6 mph, and wind directions are not from sectors that contribute to flooding risk. NOAA's flood likelihood is low at 3.4%, with a considerable distance to the flood threshold (-0.86m). Compared to historical Category 4 and 5 events, which featured lower barometric pressures and higher tide heights, current conditions do not suggest a potential for flooding.

Day 2: 2024-12-12

CATEGORY 2

WHAT Minor tidal fluctuations expected during high tide periods. No significant flooding anticipated.

WHEN Around high tides at 03:00 AM and 01:18 PM PST on December 12, 2024.

IMPACTS No expected impacts to coastal areas or infrastructure.

ADDITIONAL DETAILS...

Barometric pressure is stable and high at about 1027 hPa during high tides, much higher than in historical flood events. Tide heights peak at approximately 20.353 ft, similar to Day 1, and remain below critical levels. Wind speeds are minimal, between 2 to 6 mph, with wind directions not likely to affect flood potential. NOAA's flood likelihood is low at 3.7%, with a distance to the flood threshold of -0.85m. No significant weather or tidal conditions indicate increased flood risk when compared to past events.

Day 3: 2024-12-13

CATEGORY 2

WHAT Minor tidal fluctuations expected during high tide periods. No significant flooding anticipated.

WHEN Around high tides at 04:06 AM and 02:00 PM PST on December 13, 2024.

IMPACTS No expected impacts to coastal areas or infrastructure.

ADDITIONAL DETAILS...

High barometric pressure around 1026 hPa persists during high tides, indicating stable atmospheric conditions favorable to low flood risk. Maximum tide height is approximately 20.234 ft, slightly lower than previous days and still below flooding thresholds. Wind speeds are moderate, ranging from 4 to 8 mph, with no significant impact anticipated from wind direction. NOAA's flood likelihood is low at 2.6%, with the distance to flood threshold at -0.93m. Compared to historical flooding events, current conditions are not conducive to flooding.

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.
