Coastal Flood Statement Statement as of 11:46 am CDT on July 24, 2008

... Minor tidal overflow expected this afternoon through tonight
along the barrier islands and bays of the coastal Bend...

Moderate to strong south to southeast winds will continue through
the afternoon hours as Tropical Storm Dolly slowly moves inland
into Mexico. In the wake of Tropical Storm Dolly... higher than
normal water levels are occurring in the bays along the middle
Texas coast.

Water levels are about 2 feet above normal in the bays. Expect
minor tidal overflow will continue into this evening as the Bay
water levels slowly decline through tonight.

Also... large swells continue to slowly subside over the coastal
waters as Dolly moves inland. Water levels remain about a foot
and a half above normal late this morning. Expect higher than
normal tide levels will occur again tonight around high
tide... with water reaching the dunes. High tide at Port Aransas
will be at 1105 PM tonight and at Port O'Connor at 754 am Friday
morning.

Driving along area beaches is not advised due to high waterlines.
If you become stranded... then leave your vehicle and seek safety
on higher ground. Swimming and other marine-related activities are
highly discouraged due to the threat from heavy surf and rip
currents. Heavy surf and rip currents pose a danger to anyone in
the water... even strong swimmers. If you are caught in a rip
current... do not panic and swim parallel to the shoreline to
escape the rip current.
