Additionally, these conditions will create life threatening swimming conditions. * TIMING...late tonight through Thursday evening. * IMPACTS...The combination of high waves, onshore winds, and above normal water levels will result in beach erosion and minor flooding along the lakeshore. The high waves will wash over piers and jetties. PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS... A Lakeshore Flood Advisory indicates that onshore winds will generate flooding of low areas along the lakeshore. Life threatening waves and currents are expected at the beaches. People visiting the beaches should stay out of the water. Rip currents are powerful channels of water flowing quickly away from the shore...which occur most often at low spots or breaks in sandbars. Rip currents can sweep you into deeper water. Structural currents form along piers where longshore currents and wave action flow into the structure. Structural currents can sweep you out into deeper water along the pier structure. && $$
