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 7:00 AM to 9:00 AM PST.
IMPACTS Minor flooding of low-lying areas, parks, and roads. Isolated road closures possible.
The barometric pressure is high at 1032.44 hPa, indicating less severe weather conditions. The tide height is expected to peak at approximately 20.765 ft, slightly below the 21 ft threshold associated with higher flood risks. Wind speeds are low, ranging from 4 to 6 mph, with wind direction from the SE, which does not significantly contribute to flooding. NOAA's Flood Likelihood is high at 15.7%, suggesting a potential for minor flooding. Based on these factors and historical comparisons to Category 3 events, the flood potential is assessed as Category 3.

WHEN From 7:00 AM to 9:00 AM PST.
IMPACTS Minor flooding of low-lying areas, parks, and roads. Isolated road closures possible.
Barometric pressure remains high at 1034.14 hPa, which reduces the likelihood of severe flooding. The expected tide height peaks at approximately 20.586 ft, below the critical 21 ft level. Wind speeds are moderate but not strong enough to significantly impact the flooding risk. NOAA's Flood Likelihood is high at 10.0%, slightly lower than Day 1. Considering these factors and their similarities to historical Category 3 events, the flood potential remains at Category 3 for this day.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT No significant coastal flooding expected.
WHEN N/A
IMPACTS No substantial impacts anticipated.
Barometric pressure is at 1029.14 hPa, still indicating stable weather conditions. The highest tide is expected to reach around 20.205 ft, which is lower than the previous days and remains below the critical threshold of 21 ft. NOAA's Flood Likelihood is low at 3.5%, and wind speeds are moderate without any significant concerns. Based on these observations and historical data, the flood potential is assessed as Category 2, indicating no substantial risk of flooding.
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.
