Redondo Beach, WA
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No significant coastal flooding is expected. Tides will reach approximately 19.6 ft, but barometric pressure remains high (around 1027 hPa) and NOAA’s flood likelihood is 0%, indicating minimal risk.
WHEN
Highest tides near mid-morning (around 07:00–09:00 AM PST).
IMPACTS
No flood-related impacts are anticipated. Normal conditions expected along coastal areas.
• Compared with historical Category 3 events, today’s barometric pressure is considerably higher, reducing the flood risk.
• Tide heights are elevated but below thresholds that previously led to flooding.
• NOAA’s forecast confirms a 0% flood likelihood, consistent with no expected flooding.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No risk of flooding is forecast. The day’s peak tide approaches 19 ft, but persistently high barometric pressures (around 1028 hPa) and NOAA’s 0% flood likelihood again support minimal concern.
WHEN
Highest tides in the early to mid-morning hours.
IMPACTS
Normal tidal fluctuations with no anticipated inundation or flood-related impacts.
• Historical comparisons show previous flooding events typically coincide with both high tides above 20 ft and notably low pressure (near or below 992 hPa). Neither is expected.
• Calm wind conditions further diminish any flood risk.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No significant flooding concerns. Tides may approach the upper teens, but barometric pressure near 1025–1028 hPa remains relatively high. NOAA’s 0% likelihood reinforces the absence of flood risk.
WHEN
Morning and early evening tides will be the highest, though still not expected to cause flooding.
IMPACTS
No property or roadway flooding is expected. Coastal areas should experience routine tidal activity without significant impact.
• Historically, Category 4 and 5 floods require notably lower pressures and/or tides exceeding 20 ft. Neither condition applies here.
• NOAA’s assessment of “Low” flood likelihood aligns with local observations indicating stable weather patterns.
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.
