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 4:00 AM to 6:00 AM PST.
IMPACTS Minor flooding of low-lying areas, parks, and roads. Isolated road closures possible.
Barometric Pressure: During the high tide at 5:00 AM, the barometric pressure is 1013.79 hPa. This is higher than in historical severe flood events, indicating less severe weather conditions and a lower likelihood of significant flooding.
Tide Height: The tide height is approximately 20.041 ft at 5:00 AM. This is slightly higher than the Category 3 historical event but below the levels of more severe past events, suggesting a moderate risk.
Wind Direction and Speed: Winds are from the SSW at 18 mph. This is less intense than in higher-category historical events, indicating a lesser impact on potential flooding.
NOAA High Tide Flooding Likelihood: NOAA reports a low flood likelihood of 1.4% for this date, which aligns with a moderate risk category.
Based on these factors, while minor flooding is possible, significant impacts are unlikely. Monitoring conditions is advised.

WHAT Minor coastal flooding possible. Inundation of up to 1 foot above ground level near shorelines and low-lying areas.
WHEN From 5:30 AM to 7:30 AM PST.
IMPACTS Minor flooding of low-lying areas, parks, and roads. Isolated road closures possible.
Barometric Pressure: At the time of high tide at 5:48 AM, the pressure is 1017.94 hPa. This elevated pressure suggests less severe weather conditions compared to past significant flood events.
Tide Height: The tide reaches approximately 20.589 ft, slightly higher than Day 1 but still below the threshold associated with more severe flooding.
Wind Direction and Speed: Winds are from the S at about 18 mph, similar to Day 1, and are not expected to significantly exacerbate flooding conditions.
NOAA High Tide Flooding Likelihood: NOAA indicates a high flood likelihood of 9.5% for this date. While this is higher than Day 1, the other factors suggest that severe flooding is still unlikely.
Despite the increased NOAA flood likelihood, the combination of high barometric pressure and moderate tide heights suggests only minor flooding may occur. Continued monitoring is recommended.
CATEGORY 3
WHAT Minor coastal flooding possible. Inundation of up to 1 foot above ground level near shorelines and low-lying areas.
WHEN From 6:00 AM to 8:00 AM PST.
IMPACTS Minor flooding of low-lying areas, parks, and roads. Isolated road closures possible.
Barometric Pressure: The pressure at high tide (6:36 AM) is 1023.21 hPa, which is significantly higher than in historical severe events, indicating stable weather conditions and reduced flood risk.
Tide Height: Tide height peaks at approximately 20.800 ft, slightly higher than previous days but still below critical levels associated with significant flooding.
Wind Direction and Speed: Winds are from the ENE at about 12 mph, which is lower than previous days and less likely to contribute to flooding.
NOAA High Tide Flooding Likelihood: NOAA reports a high flood likelihood of 15.1% for this date. This increase warrants attention, but the high barometric pressure and moderate wind conditions mitigate the overall risk.
While NOAA's flood likelihood is higher on this day, other mitigating factors suggest only minor flooding is possible. Vigilant monitoring is advised.
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.
