  and waves reaching 10 feet will combine to increase the threat
  of lakeshore flooding and significant beach erosion.

• timing...thursday evening through saturday morning.

• impacts...beach erosion and coastal flooding is possible.

precautionary/preparedness actions...

a coastal flood watch means that conditions favorable for
flooding are expected to develop. coastal residents should be
alert for later statements or warnings...and take action to
protect property.

This is a "watch" that our area doesn't see very often. I guess that Port Clinton, etc. could be impacted. Back on June 27, Port Clinton got swamped by our version of a tropical storm that brought strong northeast winds and heavy rain.

We are not expecting any rain until Saturday. The winds for this week's event may not be as strong as back on June 27, but it's the duration that will be a concern for the shoreline areas.

Brisk northeast winds are forecast for Thursday, Friday, and into Saturday. That will push a lot of water into our end of the basin.
