The National Weather Service issued a coastal flood advisory for Mobile and Baldwin counties from Friday to Sunday due to long period swells from Hurricane Beryl causing dangerous rip currents. There is also a potential for localized saltwater flooding in vulnerable areas along Gulf-facing beaches. Residents are urged to familiarize themselves with the beach flag system and follow lifeguard instructions to stay safe. In addition to the coastal flooding, the article provides information on different weather alerts, including flash flood warnings, flood warnings, flood advisories, and flood watches. Recommendations from the weather service include seeking higher ground, adhering to evacuation orders, disconnecting utilities, avoiding flooded areas with electrical hazards, evacuating if needed, and avoiding walking through floodwaters. Drivers are also warned not to drive through flooded roads, as just 12 inches of water can carry away most cars. The information was compiled using machine learning technology from United Robots to provide the latest data from the National Weather Service. Stay safe by being prepared and informed during heavy rain and flooding events.
