* WHAT...Minor lakeshore flooding expected. * WHERE...Oswego and Jefferson counties. * WHEN...From 2 PM this afternoon to 8 PM EDT Friday. * IMPACTS...The combination of high lake levels and significant wave action will result in minor lakeshore flooding along the immediate lakeshore, especially in bays, inlets, harbors, and other low lying areas along the shoreline.

A Lakeshore Flood Warning means lakeshore flooding is occurring, is imminent, or is expected to occur. For your safety, stay off breakwaters, piers, rock outcroppings and beaches! Waves are often larger than they appear and can easily wash you away. Expect beach erosion and debris, local road closures and extremely dangerous boating conditions.
