...LAKESHORE FLOOD ADVISORY IN EFFECT FROM 5 AM EDT /4 AM CDT/ TO
8 PM EDT /7 PM CDT/ THURSDAY...
...BEACH HAZARDS STATEMENT IN EFFECT FROM LATE TONIGHT THROUGH
THURSDAY EVENING...

The National Weather Service in Northern Indiana has issued a
Lakeshore Flood Advisory, which is in effect from 5 AM EDT /4 AM
CDT/ to 8 PM EDT /7 PM CDT/ Thursday. A Beach Hazards Statement
has also been issued. This Beach Hazards Statement for rough surf
and rip currents is in effect from late tonight through Thursday 
evening. 

* LAKE SHORE FLOODING...

* HIGH WAVE ACTION AND DANGEROUS SWIMMING CONDITIONS EXPECTED...

* STRONG RIP CURRENTS EXPECTED...

* STRONG STRUCTURAL CURRENTS EXPECTED...

* OVERVIEW/POTENTIAL IMPACTS...BRIEFLY DISCUSS WAVES AND
  WINDS...The combination of high water levels on Lake Michigan,
  strong onshore winds, and wave heights of 8 to 12 feet,
  occasionally up to 15 feet, can result in flooding of areas 
  along the lakeshore. 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.
