Beach Safety tips for Labor Day Weekend.<\/p>\n
Thousands of people will flock to Central Florida's coast with beach towels for a hot sometimes rainy Labor Day weekend. <\/p>\n
In turn, Central Florida's law officers will be out in full force; patrolling area beaches, lakes and highways amid the low-to-mid 90s weather in Orlando. <\/p>\n
Meteorologists say Saturday and Monday will be the hottest days in Central Florida, with a high of 94 both days, with a moderate risk for rip currents Saturday. <\/p>\n
Temperatures will be a bit cooler at the beaches because of sea breezes. <\/p>\n
The usual summer afternoon storms could dampen some outdoor plans, meteorologist John Pendergrast said. <\/p>\n
\"If you do have outdoor activities that are sensitive to rain or storms, you should probably do them early,\" Pendergrast said. \"You probably want to have them wrapped up by 1 p.m.\" <\/p>\n
Lingering swells from Hurricane Cristobal and the threat of rip currents are among the main concerns for beach officials this weekend. <\/p>\n
\"It's extremely important for people to find a lifeguard tower and swim in front of it,\" said Capt. Tammy Marris, spokeswoman for Volusia County Beach Safety Ocean Rescue. <\/p>\n
Meanwhile, other law-enforcement agencies will be on high alert for intoxicated drivers and boaters. <\/p>\n
