...MINOR COASTAL FLOODING AND DANGEROUS RIP CURRENTS POSSIBLE 
ACROSS THE MIDDLE TEXAS COAST TODAY...

.Higher than normal astronomical tides along with persistent
strong to very strong onshore flow will maintain high water
levels through at least Thursday afternoon across the inland bays
and Gulf-facing beaches of the Middle Texas Coast. The water
levels will be at their highest around the time of high tide. In
addition to minor coastal flooding, dangerous rip currents are 
possible along area breaches.

...HIGH RIP CURRENT RISK IN EFFECT THROUGH FRIDAY MORNING...
...COASTAL FLOOD ADVISORY NOW IN EFFECT UNTIL 4 PM CDT THIS
AFTERNOON...

The National Weather Service in Corpus Christi has issued a High
Rip Current Risk, which is in effect through Friday morning. 

* COASTAL FLOODING...Water levels at the time of high tide will
  range from 1.0 foot of inundation (2 feet above mean sea level)
  in the bays to 1.5 feet of inundation (2.5 feet above mean sea 
  level) for Gulf-facing beaches. 

* TIMING...Through Thursday afternoon.

* IMPACTS...Water will reach the dunes and beach access roads on 
  Mustang and Padre Islands at the time of high tide. Driving 
  conditions may not be possible along Gulf-facing beaches at 
  the time of high tide as a result. Low-lying areas such as 
  Laguna Shores Drive in Corpus Christi as well as Indian Point 
  Pier and North Beach will also be affected by the high water 
  levels. High water levels will also flood other low-lying 
  areas along the intracoastal waterway and adjacent bays. 

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

A Coastal Flood Advisory indicates that onshore winds and tides
will combine to generate flooding of low areas along the shore.

Swim near a lifeguard. 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.
