* WHAT...For the High Rip Current Risk, dangerous rip currents.
For the High Surf Advisory, large breaking waves of 6 to 12
feet expected in the surf zone. For the Coastal Flood Advisory,
up to one foot of inundation above ground level expected in low-
lying areas near shorelines and tidal waterways.
* WHERE...Eastern Monmouth.
* WHEN...For the High Rip Current Risk, through Friday
afternoon. For the High Surf Advisory, from 6 AM Wednesday to
6 PM EDT Friday. For the Coastal Flood Advisory, from 4 PM
Wednesday to 1 AM EDT Friday.
* IMPACTS...At this level, flooding begins on the most
vulnerable roads in coastal and bayside communities, and along
inland tidal waterways. Some partial or full road closures are
possible. Dangerous swimming and surfing conditions and
localized beach erosion. Rip currents can sweep even the best
swimmers away from shore into deeper water.
* ADDITIONAL DETAILS...Widespread minor tidal flooding could
continue through at least Friday evening's high tide or perhaps
longer.
What to do
A Coastal Flood Advisory means that minor tidal flooding is
expected. Minor tidal flooding often results in some road
closures. Usually, the most vulnerable roadways will flood.
Do not leave your vehicle at a location that is prone to tidal
flooding. Do not drive your vehicle through flood waters. The
water may be deeper than you think it is. You will be putting
yourself in danger and your vehicle may be damaged, leading to
costly repairs.
Visit the National Water Prediction Service at
https://water.noaa.gov/wfo/phi for additional water level and
flood impact information for your local tide gauge.
Inexperienced swimmers should remain out of the water due to
dangerous surf conditions.
Always obey posted Beach Flags. If you enter the surf zone,
always have a floatation device with you and swim near a
lifeguard if possible. If caught in a rip current, relax and
float and do not swim against the current. If able, swim parallel
to the shoreline. If unable to escape, face the shore and call or
wave for help.

In the past year the National Weather Service issued 175 alerts for Monmouth County, including 44 severe thunderstorm warnings, 12 flash flood warnings, 4 flood warnings and 3 freeze warnings.
From the Iowa Environmental Mesonet’s archive of NWS watches, warnings and advisories (VTEC), by the county’s own code and the forecast zones inside it. Each links to the alert's own page, with its text, map, radar and sounding.
The hazard is happening or about to. Act now: a tornado warning means take shelter, a flash flood warning means move to higher ground.
Watch
Conditions favor the hazard. Nothing is happening yet; have a plan and be ready to act if a warning follows.
Advisory
A hazard that is less serious than a warning but can still cause trouble, such as dense fog, heat or light ice.
Statement
Information about weather that does not yet meet a warning: a strong storm, a hydrologic update, or a special weather statement.
Severity (extreme, severe, moderate, minor) is the rating the issuing office gives each product. More on the difference: tornado watch vs. tornado warning. Alerts come from the National Weather Service; follow its instructions and your local officials.
Sources
Alerts from the National Weather Service's public feed, read afresh every minute, and matched to counties and zones by their UGC codes. Warnings from outside the United States come from each country's own meteorological service. Follow the issuing office's instructions and your local officials.
