Redondo Beach, WA
Below is a three-day outlook for potential coastal flood risk based on the provided weather data, tide predictions, barometric pressure forecasts, and NOAA flood likelihood reports. Current analysis indicates a stable barometric pressure well above the critical low threshold of ~992.8 hPa. Although tides are moderately high (generally in the 18–19 ft range), they are lower than the levels historically associated with more significant flooding (20+ ft). Additionally, NOAA’s flood likelihood remains at 0% for each day, suggesting no notable inundation concerns.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No risk of coastal flooding is expected. While tide levels may reach around 18.8 ft during early morning hours, barometric pressure remains well above the critical low-pressure mark, and NOAA projects a 0% flood likelihood.
WHEN
Peak tide near 01:12 AM local time; however, flood potential is minimal throughout the day.
IMPACTS
No anticipated flooding or disruption. Normal marine conditions expected, with no property damage or significant water intrusion onshore.
Comparing these conditions with past Category 3 and higher events shows that today’s barometric pressure (approximately 1009 hPa) and tide height (below 20 ft) fall short of historical flooding benchmarks. NOAA further indicates no flood threat, reinforcing a low-risk outlook.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No risk of coastal flooding despite a slightly higher morning tide (near 19 ft) around 02:06 AM. The barometric pressure remains near 1008 hPa, which is not low enough to raise concern, and NOAA’s forecast again shows 0% likelihood of flooding.
WHEN
Highest tides occur in the early morning and midday, but expected impact remains negligible.
IMPACTS
No coastal inundation or disruptions anticipated. No road closures or property concerns are expected.
Historically, significantly lower barometric pressures (around or below 992.8 hPa) combined with tides above 20 ft have led to Category 3 or greater events. Current conditions are comparatively mild, continuing to indicate a low flood risk.
CATEGORY 2
WHAT
No risk of flooding is forecast, although tides may approach ~19 ft early in the morning (around 02:48 AM). Barometric pressure is relatively stable (about 1013–1010 hPa), comfortably above the threshold typically associated with any risk of coastal flooding. NOAA again projects a 0% flood likelihood.
WHEN
Higher tides occur early morning and midday, but remain below levels seen historically during flood events.
IMPACTS
No expected flooding. Shoreline areas should stay clear of inundation, with normal activities continuing uninterrupted.
These tides, while moderately high, remain below the 20 ft+ range that, when paired with much lower pressure, contributed to past Category 3 or 4 events. Recent NOAA data further confirms minimal chance of any flood conditions.
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.
