SATURDAY...
...HIGH RIP CURRENT RISK REMAINS IN EFFECT FROM 6 AM EDT THIS
MORNING THROUGH SATURDAY EVENING...
...COASTAL FLOOD WATCH REMAINS IN EFFECT FROM SATURDAY MORNING
THROUGH SUNDAY AFTERNOON...

* WHAT...For the Coastal Flood Advisory, up to one foot of
  inundation above ground level in low-lying areas near
  shorelines and tidal waterways. For the High Rip Current Risk,
  dangerous rip currents expected. For the Coastal Flood Watch,
  one to two feet of inundation above ground level possible in
  low-lying areas near shorelines and tidal waterways.

* WHERE...Coastal Ocean.

* WHEN...For the Coastal Flood Advisory, until 6 AM EDT
  Saturday. For the High Rip Current Risk, from 6 AM EDT this
  morning through Saturday evening. For the Coastal Flood Watch,
  from Saturday morning through Sunday afternoon.

* IMPACTS...At this level, widespread roadway flooding occurs in
  coastal and bayside communities and along inland tidal
  waterways. Many roads become impassable. Some damage to
  vulnerable structures may begin to occur. Rip currents can
  sweep even the best swimmers away from shore into deeper water.

* ADDITIONAL DETAILS...Some guidance continues to indicate
  moderate coastal flooding may occur during the Friday morning
  high tide cycle. While confidence in this remains low, a short-
  fused warning may be issued during the next update to cover this
  high tide cycle.

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

If travel is required, allow extra time as some roads may be
closed. Do not drive around barricades or through water of
unknown depth. 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.
