Flood Watch

Redondo Beach, WA

Day 1: 2025-01-10

CATEGORY 1

WHAT

No risk of flooding is expected. Normal tidal conditions with no significant impact anticipated.

WHEN

Throughout the day on 2025-01-10.

IMPACTS

No flooding impacts expected. Normal conditions in low-lying areas and along the shoreline.

ADDITIONAL DETAILS...

Barometric pressure is high at 1034.41 hPa during the high tide at 12:36 PM, indicating stable weather conditions. The tide height at that time is approximately 19.68 ft, which is below levels associated with historical flooding events. Wind speeds are low, ranging from 3 to 6 mph with variable directions, reducing any potential for coastal flooding. NOAA's Flood Likelihood is minimal at 0.1%, supporting the assessment that flooding is not expected. Compared to past events categorized as Category 3 or higher, today's conditions do not pose a flooding threat.


Day 2: 2025-01-11

CATEGORY 1

WHAT

No risk of flooding is expected. Normal tidal conditions with no significant impact anticipated.

WHEN

Throughout the day on 2025-01-11.

IMPACTS

No flooding impacts expected. Normal conditions in low-lying areas and along the shoreline.

ADDITIONAL DETAILS...

The barometric pressure remains high at 1029.95 hPa during the high tide at 1:30 PM, suggesting continued stable atmospheric conditions. The tide height reaches approximately 19.40 ft, still below the thresholds observed in historical flood events. Wind speeds are low, around 4 to 5 mph from the south, which does not contribute to increased flood risk. NOAA's Flood Likelihood remains minimal at 0.1%, indicating a low potential for flooding. There are no significant deviations or concerning similarities to past flooding events.


Day 3: 2025-01-12

CATEGORY 3

WHAT

Monitoring recommended due to higher tides. Minor potential for coastal flooding in low-lying areas, but significant flooding is unlikely.

WHEN

Early morning on 2025-01-12, particularly around the high tide at 5:06 AM.

IMPACTS

Possible minor flooding in low-lying areas and along the shoreline. Minimal impact on property and infrastructure is expected.

ADDITIONAL DETAILS...

The tide height peaks at approximately 20.26 ft during the high tide at 5:06 AM, which is similar to previous Category 3 events. The barometric pressure is 1024.32 hPa, higher than pressures associated with significant historical flood events, indicating less severe weather conditions. Wind speeds are low, between 2 to 5 mph from the NNW to NNE, reducing the likelihood of wind-driven tidal surges. NOAA's Flood Likelihood increases to 2.8%, still relatively low but higher than the previous days. Compared to past Category 3 events, the conditions are analogous, suggesting that while flooding is close to possible, it is unlikely to cause damage. Continued monitoring is advisable, especially for those in low-lying areas.


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.
