High winds are expected this weekend and warnings are already out about possible flooding on the east coast of Central Florida.
The weather will be beautiful at the beach for Friday and Saturday, but beach patrol officers are warning that conditions could change dramatically for Sunday.
Forecasters are expecting high winds and massive waves anywhere from 8 to 10 feet high. The National Weather Service has issued a Coastal Flood Warning for Volusia, Brevard and Flagler counties that will last from late Saturday night through Monday evening.
The high waves could mean more beach erosion is on the way. One area that is particularly susceptible to damage is New Smyrna Beach. There is also a history of beach erosion in Daytona Beach near the boadwalk. The beach patrol will be closely watching those areas.
The beach patrol said it would also be taking some proactive measures to get ready for the high winds and waves.
They will be removing signs and conservation posts from the beach to prevent them from washing out to the ocean or flying away.
Beach patrol said they have concerns for next weekend. They said the high wave action this weekend might change the makeup of the sand underneath the water and could create dangerous rip currents for the following week.
