Redondo Beach, WA
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No flooding is expected. Coastal waters will rise to moderate high tides, but conditions do not support flood impacts.
WHEN
Primarily around the morning and evening high tides on January 24, though no flood impacts are anticipated at any time.
IMPACTS
No adverse flooding impacts are expected. Normal tidal fluctuations should pose little to no risk to low-lying areas.
• Barometric pressure remains high (above 1036 hPa), reducing the potential for significant coastal flooding.
• Forecasted tide heights are below 21 ft, which is typically required for notable flood risk when combined with low barometric pressure.
• NOAA’s Flood Likelihood Analysis indicates a 0.0% chance of flooding, consistent with historical observations of comparable conditions that did not result in flood events.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No flooding is expected. While high tides will again be moderately elevated, the continued high barometric pressure keeps flood risk minimal.
WHEN
Near the early-morning high tide around 4:00 AM and midday around 12:30 PM. No flood impacts are expected during these periods.
IMPACTS
No noticeable flooding of roadways or coastal areas is anticipated. Coastal visitors and residents should not experience disruptions.
• Barometric pressure remains elevated (approximately 1034 hPa), substantially higher than what has historically contributed to coastal flooding.
• Tide levels, while significant, remain under 21 ft. This further reduces the chance of reaching flood thresholds.
• NOAA indicates a 0.0% flood likelihood, reinforcing that tides and weather conditions will remain well below problematic levels.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No flooding is expected. Although the tide may be slightly higher than previous days, the combination of tide height and continued relatively high barometric pressure does not meet historical flood criteria.
WHEN
Highest tides occur around early morning (near 4:30 AM) and early afternoon (around 1:24 PM), but no flooding is expected during these times.
IMPACTS
No significant coastal inundation or property impacts are anticipated. Normal beach activity should not be affected.
• Barometric pressure, though somewhat lower than previous days (around 1027 hPa), is still well above the historically low-pressure levels associated with notable flooding.
• Tide heights remain below the 21 ft threshold often correlated with previous flood events.
• NOAA’s Flood Likelihood Analysis remains at 0.0%, indicating minimal concern for coastal flooding based on current projections.
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.
Categories 1-2: No risk of flooding.
Category 3: Close to a flood event and worth monitoring.
Category 4: Flooding is likely however, it is uncertain if this will cause major property damage.
Category 5: Likely to flood and cause property damage.
Categories 6-7: Extremely high risk of flooding and property damage.
