Flood Watch
Redondo Beach, WA
Day 1: 2025-01-08
CATEGORY 3
WHAT Minor coastal flooding possible. High tide levels may approach flood thresholds in low-lying areas.
WHEN From 10:00 AM to 12:00 PM PST.
IMPACTS Minor flooding of low-lying areas, parks, and roads. Isolated road closures possible.
ADDITIONAL DETAILS...
- Barometric Pressure: High at 1029.38 hPa during peak tides, indicating stable weather conditions compared to historical severe events.
- Tide Height: Peak tide expected at 20.29 ft around 11:00 AM, which is similar to past Category 3 events but lower than higher-category events.
- Wind: Light winds from the North at 4-8 km/h, with wind directions ranging from 6 to 10 degrees, suggesting minimal impact on tide levels.
- NOAA Flood Likelihood: Low likelihood at 3.4%, with a distance to threshold of -0.87m, indicating that tides are below minor flood levels.
- Comparison with Historical Events: The tide height is comparable to the Category 3 event on 01/06/2025, but the higher barometric pressure and lower wind speeds reduce the overall flood risk.
Day 2: 2025-01-09
CATEGORY 1
WHAT No risk of flooding expected.
WHEN No flood risk throughout the day.
IMPACTS No flooding impacts anticipated.
ADDITIONAL DETAILS...
- Barometric Pressure: Very high at 1033.30 hPa and 1036.49 hPa during high tides, indicating very stable atmospheric conditions.
- Tide Height: Maximum tide height around 19.99 ft at 11:48 AM, lower than previous day's peak and historical flood events.
- Wind: Light winds with speeds around 4-6 km/h and varying directions, not contributing to flooding risk.
- NOAA Flood Likelihood: Very low likelihood at 0.7%, with a distance to threshold of -1.19m, well below flood concern levels.
- Comparison with Historical Events: Both tide heights and barometric pressures are not indicative of flood conditions when compared to past events. The conditions are stable and do not pose a flood risk.
Day 3: 2025-01-10
CATEGORY 1
WHAT No risk of flooding expected.
WHEN No flood risk throughout the day.
IMPACTS No flooding impacts anticipated.
ADDITIONAL DETAILS...
- Barometric Pressure: High at 1033.74 hPa and 1035.77 hPa during high tides, showing stable atmospheric pressure.
- Tide Height: Peak tide expected at 19.68 ft around 12:30 PM, lower than flood thresholds observed in historical events.
- Wind: Light winds ranging from 3-7 km/h with varying directions, having minimal impact on tidal conditions.
- NOAA Flood Likelihood: Extremely low likelihood at 0.1%, with a distance to threshold of -1.55m, indicating no flood risk.
- Comparison with Historical Events: Tide heights and barometric pressures are significantly lower than those observed during historical flooding events. The weather conditions do not suggest any potential for 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.
