Flagler County Emergency Management is tracking a weather system that is expected to impact the county over the weekend.

“We are already seeing elevated winds and rough conditions along the coast in advance of this system,” said Emergency Management Director Jonathan Lord. “Throughout the weekend, we expect to see continued elevated winds with gusts in the 35-45 mph range, surf in the six- to 10-foot range, and tides running about two feet above normal.”

The current onshore winds and heavy surf that are now occurring ahead of the impending weather system will continue over the next two days, causing beach and dune erosion around high tide.
