...LAKESHORE FLOOD WARNING NOW IN EFFECT UNTIL 4 AM EDT
SATURDAY...

The National Weather Service in Gaylord has issued a BEACH
HAZARDS STATEMENT, which is in effect until 4 AM EDT Saturday. 

* LAKE SHORE FLOODING...High winds and waves will combine with 
  above normal Great Lakes water levels, to generate an 
  increased chance of moderate beach erosion and coastal 
  flooding through tonight. 

* Hazards...Winds...waves and dangerous currents.

* TIMING...Overnight.

* LOCATION...Lake Michigan beaches of Northwest Lower Michigan.

* Impacts...Beach flooding from increased water levels and waves 
  will erode beaches and possibly damage docks. 

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

A high swim risk means life threatening waves and currents are
expected. Stay out of the water and stay away from dangerous
areas like piers and breakwalls.

Flooding is most likely in low lying, flood prone areas along the
immediate lakeshore, in bays and inlets.

Coastal residents should be alert for rising water, and take
appropriate action to protect life and property. People should
stay off piers and jetties to avoid being swept into the lake.
