...HIGH RIP CURRENT RISK IN EFFECT THROUGH TUESDAY MORNING...

...COASTAL FLOOD STATEMENT IN EFFECT THROUGH MIDDAY TUESDAY...

* COASTAL FLOODING...Sensitive and low-lying locations along the
  Atlantic coast will experience minor flooding, particularly
  along the Intracoastal Waterway.
 
* TIMING...Minor coastal flooding around the times of high tide
  during the mid to late morning hours, as well as between 8 PM and
  10 PM tonight. There is also a High Rip Current risk through 
  Tuesday morning.

* IMPACTS...Life threatening rip currents will pose a hazard to
  all swimmers. Heed the advice of lifeguards. Swimming is not
  recommended. Minor coastal flooding is expected, impacting 
  sensitive and low-lying coastal locations.

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

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

There is a high risk of rip currents.

Rip currents are powerful channels of water flowing quickly away
from shore, which occur most often at low spots or breaks in the
sandbar and in the vicinity of structures such as groins, jetties
and piers. Heed the advice of lifeguards, beach patrol flags and
signs.

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.
