For the Coastal Flood Advisory, minor coastal flooding expected. * WHERE...South Walton, Coastal Bay and Coastal Gulf Counties. * WHEN...For the High Rip Current Risk, through late tonight. For the High Surf Advisory, from 11 PM EDT /10 PM CDT/ Wednesday to 11 PM EDT /10 PM CDT/ Thursday. For the Coastal Flood Advisory, from 2 AM EDT /1 AM CDT/ to 2 PM EDT /1 PM CDT/ Thursday. * IMPACTS...Water levels will be highest around the time of high tide early Thursday morning prior to sunrise. High tide is around 3 am CDT on Thursday. Water levels of 1 to 2 feet above normally dry ground are expected. These water levels typically flood into beach access parking areas, overwash low lying coastal adjacent roads and other beachfront areas. In addition to the high water levels, high surf will lead to beach erosion, especially around times of high tide. Surf of this magnitude will also generate deadly rip currents, even for experienced surfers and swimmers. * ADDITIONAL DETAILS...Heed beach safety flags. If double red flags are flying that means the Gulf waters are closed! PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS... If travel is required, allow extra time as some roads or parking areas may be closed. Do not drive around barricades or through water of unknown depth. Take the necessary actions to protect flood-prone property. Surfers and swimmers should remain out of the water due to dangerous surf conditions. && $$ FLZ115-110415- /O.CON.KTAE.RP.S.0079.000000T0000Z-240911T0900Z/ Coastal Franklin- 414 PM EDT Tue Sep 10 2024 ...HIGH RIP CURRENT RISK REMAINS IN EFFECT THROUGH LATE TONIGHT... * WHAT...Dangerous rip currents. * WHERE...Franklin County Beaches. * WHEN...Through late tonight. * IMPACTS...Rip currents can sweep even the best swimmers away from shore into deeper water.
