Flood Watch

Redondo Beach, WA

Day 1: 2025-02-16

CATEGORY 2

WHAT
No risk of flooding is expected. Elevated tides will reach approximately 19.66 ft, but the barometric pressure (around 1021.6 hPa) is high, and NOAA’s analysis indicates a low flood likelihood.

WHEN
Peak tide near 07:12 AM PST.

IMPACTS
No substantial flooding impacts are anticipated. Normal tidal fluctuations may bring water levels close to coastal infrastructure, but no damage or inundation is expected.

ADDITIONAL DETAILS...

Barometric pressure is significantly higher than in historical flood events, and NOAA’s Flood Likelihood is at 0.0%. Although the tide height is moderately high, the stable, relatively high pressure prevents coastal inundation in low-lying areas. These conditions align more closely with Category 1–2 (no risk) events rather than the higher categories recorded in past data.


Day 2: 2025-02-17

CATEGORY 2

WHAT
No risk of flooding is expected again. The highest tide (approximately 19.42 ft) coincides with a very high barometric pressure of around 1026.6 hPa, which substantially reduces the potential for tidal flooding.

WHEN
Peak tide near 07:36 AM PST; a secondary high tide occurs around 08:24 PM PST, both associated with high pressure.

IMPACTS
No flooding impacts are anticipated. Coastal areas should experience routine high-tide conditions without flooding concerns.

ADDITIONAL DETAILS...

Compared with historical Category 3 or higher events, these tides occur under much higher pressure and low wind speeds, thereby mitigating flood risks. NOAA’s Flood Likelihood remains at 0.0%, indicating no notable flood threat.


Day 3: 2025-02-18

CATEGORY 2

WHAT
No flood risk continues. Projected tides near 19.05 ft at 08:06 AM PST and midday rising to around 10 ft do not present a threat under the prevailing high pressure of around 1029.7 hPa.

WHEN
Highest tide around 08:06 AM PST, with another elevated tide near 02:18 PM PST.

IMPACTS
No expected flooding of coastal roadways or low-lying properties. Normal tidal variations should not produce any damaging inundation.

ADDITIONAL DETAILS...

All relevant indicators—high barometric pressure, positive wind direction, and NOAA’s 0.0% flood likelihood—point to negligible flood potential. Even though tides approach levels seen in some historical events, the much higher pressure (and lack of high winds) keeps conditions in the no-risk range.


PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

You should monitor later forecasts and be alert for any unexpected weather changes. Those living in areas prone to flooding should stay informed but should not need special measures this week, given the current high-pressure conditions and very low flood likelihood.

CATEGORY KEY

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.
