COASTAL FLOOD ADVISORY REMAINS IN EFFECT UNTIL 7 AM CDT SUNDAY... ...HIGH RIP CURRENT RISK REMAINS IN EFFECT THROUGH SATURDAY EVENING

What
For the High Rip Current Risk, dangerous rip currents expected. For the Coastal Flood Advisory, minor coastal flooding expected.
Where
Aransas Islands, Kleberg Islands, Nueces Islands and Calhoun Islands Counties.
When
For the High Rip Current Risk, through Saturday evening. For the Coastal Flood Advisory, through 7 AM CDT Sunday.
Impacts
Flooding of lots, parks, and roads with only isolated road closures expected. Rip currents can sweep even the most experienced swimmers away from shore into deeper water. These rip currents can become life-threatening to anyone entering the surf.

What to do

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.
