For the High Rip Current Risk, through this evening. * IMPACTS...Poor driving conditions are expected as water reaches the dunes, mainly near times of high tide. Some beach access roads will be impassable. High water levels will also approach low areas along the intracoastal waterways and bays.

Take the necessary actions to protect flood-prone property. 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. && $$ TXZ245-344-346-347-101845- /O.CON.KCRP.CF.Y.0029.000000T0000Z-210711T0000Z/ Coastal Aransas-Coastal San Patricio-Coastal Refugio- Coastal Calhoun- 540 AM CDT Sat Jul 10 2021 ...COASTAL FLOOD ADVISORY REMAINS IN EFFECT UNTIL 7 PM CDT THIS EVENING... * WHAT...Minor coastal flooding expected. * WHERE...Coastal Aransas, Coastal San Patricio, Aransas Islands, Coastal Refugio, Coastal Calhoun and Calhoun Islands Counties. * WHEN...Until 7 PM CDT this evening. * IMPACTS...Poor driving conditions are expected as water reaches the dunes, mainly near times of high tide.
