Redondo Beach, WA
CATEGORY 2
WHAT No risk of flooding expected. Tides and weather conditions are within normal ranges.
WHEN N/A
IMPACTS No impacts expected.
The barometric pressure during the high tide at 06:30 AM is 1014.23 hPa, which is significantly higher than pressures associated with historical flooding events. The maximum tide height is approximately 20.245 ft, below the critical threshold of 21 ft required for flood risk when paired with low barometric pressure. Wind speeds are low at 2 mph from the South (188 degrees), and NOAA's flood likelihood is low at 2.0%. Compared to historical Category 3 and 4 events, these conditions do not indicate a significant flood risk.
CATEGORY 3
WHAT Close to a flood event; minor coastal flooding possible but unlikely to cause flood damage.
WHEN From 06:54 AM to 07:30 AM PST during the peak high tide.
IMPACTS Minor flooding in low-lying areas possible, but significant impacts are not expected.
The barometric pressure at the time of high tide is high at 1020.60 hPa, indicating stable atmospheric conditions. The predicted tide height is around 20.398 ft at 07:00 AM, which is significant but below levels observed in historical Category 4 and 5 events. Wind speeds are low at 3 mph from the Southeast (127 degrees), less impactful than winds during past severe flood events. NOAA's flood likelihood is high at 5.0%, lower than percentages observed during historical flooding. While the conditions are close to a flood event and worth monitoring, the combination of high barometric pressure and moderate tide heights suggests that significant flooding is unlikely.
CATEGORY 3
WHAT Close to a flood event; minor coastal flooding possible but unlikely to cause flood damage.
WHEN From 07:00 AM to 07:30 AM PST during the peak high tide.
IMPACTS Minor flooding in low-lying areas possible, but significant impacts are not expected.
Barometric pressure remains high at 1023.60 hPa during the high tide at 07:00 AM, reducing the risk of severe weather conditions. The tide height is expected to reach approximately 20.426 ft, similar to Day 2 and below the levels of historical Category 4 and 5 events. Wind speeds are low at 2 mph from the Northeast (47 degrees). NOAA's flood likelihood is high at 5.8%, slightly higher than Day 2 but still lower than historical flooding events. Compared to past Category 3 events, the current high barometric pressure and low wind speeds suggest that significant flooding is unlikely, though conditions should be monitored.
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.
