The National Weather Service has issued a high surf warning from Thursday, Jan 12, at 1 p.m. through Saturday, Jan. 14 at 10 a.m.
Due to the expected increased tide, high surf and the reduction of beach sand there is a significant potential for flooding along Beach Drive, Las Olas Drive, and Potbelly Beach Road. Residents in these areas should be prepared to evacuate and move to higher ground if flooding starts.
The Sheriff’s Office has issued an evacuation warning for CTL-E048 (Seacliff State Beach and encompassing Beach Drive) and CTL-E031 (New Brighton State Beach & beyond) Information on evacuation zones is at community.zonehaven.com
