There is a high risk of rip currents.
Rip currents are powerful channels of water flowing quickly away
from shore, which occur most often at low spots or breaks in the
sandbar and in the vicinity of structures such as groins, jetties
and piers. Heed the advice of lifeguards, beach patrol flags and
signs.
If you become caught in a rip current, yell for help. Remain
calm, do not exhaust yourself and stay afloat while waiting for
help. If you have to swim out of a rip current, swim parallel to
shore and back toward the beach when possible. Do not attempt to
swim directly against a rip current as you will tire quickly.

.DAY ONE...Today and Tonight
.Lightning...Isolated thunderstorms, particularly across
the interior and south. Stay alert and be prepared to take
shelter if storms develop.

streams, and washes, particularly across the interior and south.
There is a low chance of isolated flash floods. Elsewhere, plan
for water ponding on roads and in poorly drained areas.

individuals extremely sensitive to heat, especially when outdoors
without effective cooling and/or adequate hydration.
.Marine Conditions...Hazardous conditions for small craft in
areas with seas of 7 feet or higher across the nearshore Atlantic
waters and local passages, with dangerous conditions in areas with
seas of 10 feet of higher across the offshore Atlantic. Small
craft should exercise caution elsewhere across the local waters.
.Rip Currents...Life-threatening rip currents will develop in the
surf zone. These life- threatening conditions are likely across
the north and west facing beaches, with isolated stronger rip
currents elsewhere, especially near piers, jetties and channels.
.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Saturday through Thursday
The heat risk will remain elevated through next week. Afternoon
thunderstorms could lead to urban and small stream flooding each
day along the Cordillera Central. A large, long period northerly
swell will promote hazardous seas and life-threatening rip
currents through early next week.
