...BEACH HAZARDS STATEMENT IN EFFECT FROM 8 AM EDT THIS MORNING
THROUGH THIS EVENING...
...LAKESHORE FLOOD ADVISORY REMAINS IN EFFECT FROM 8 AM THIS
MORNING TO 8 PM EDT THIS EVENING...

The National Weather Service in Gaylord has issued a BEACH
HAZARDS STATEMENT, which is in effect from 8 AM EDT this morning
through this evening. 

* LAKE SHORE FLOODING...The combination of high water levels, 
  northwest winds gusting up to 30 mph, and 2 to 4 foot waves 
  will lead to lakeshore flooding and beach erosion. 

* HAZARDS...Dangerous waves and currents are expected today.
 
* Timing...Beginning this morning and continuing into this 
  evening. 

* Impacts...High winds and waves onshore will generate some 
  beach flooding and erosion. Waves may completely submerge pier 
  decks at times. In addition...rivers that have outlets into 
  Lake Michigan...may see water pushed back into the river 
  channel... which could result in water overtopping river 
  banks. 

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

A Lakeshore Flood Advisory indicates that onshore winds will
generate flooding of low areas along the lakeshore.

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.
