Coastal Flood Advisory issued September 21 at 2:19AM EDT until September 22 at 2:00PM EDT by NWS Melbourne FL * WHAT...For the Coastal Flood Advisory, minor coastal flooding. For the High Rip Current Risk, dangerous rip currents expected. * WHERE...Coastal Volusia and Northern Brevard Counties. * WHEN...For the Coastal Flood Advisory, until 2 PM EDT Sunday. For the High Rip Current Risk, through late tonight. * IMPACTS...Some flooding of low-lying lots, parks and roadways may occur near the shoreline. Only isolated road closures are expected. Water may reach the dune line or sea wall along vulnerable beaches. Rip currents can sweep even the best swimmers away from shore into deeper water. * ADDITIONAL DETAILS...High tides this weekend will occur in the late morning and late evening hours. Onshore winds and above normal tides will combine to generate flooding of low areas along the shore. Do not drive around barricades or through water of unknown depth. Take the necessary actions to protect flood-prone property. Rip currents are powerful channels of water flowing quickly away from shore, which occur most often at low spots or breaks in the sandbar and in the vicinity of structures such as jetties and piers. Heed the advice of lifeguards, beach patrol flags and signs. Entering the surf is strongly discouraged. If caught in a rip current, relax and float. Don't swim against the current. If able, swim in a direction following the shoreline. If unable to escape, face the shore and call or wave for help.
