A cold front is expected to cross Victoria during Thursday, bringing strong westerly winds to the Gippsland Lakes Thursday afternoon and evening. This will lead to a rise in water levels and potential localised tidal inundation.

ABNORMALLY HIGH TIDES which may cause flooding are possible about low-lying parts of the Gippsland Lakes coasts during the Thursday evening high tide, particularly around Lakes Entrance.
The Victoria State Emergency Service and Life Saving Victoria advise that people should be aware of the following:
* Do not walk, ride or drive through flood waters.
* Stay away from beaches, tidal rivers and creeks.
* If you have a boat or water craft, haul out if possible or check your moorings are secure.
* Keep away from flooded drains, rivers, streams and waterways.
* Stay informed - monitor weather warnings and forecasts at the Bureau of Meteorology website, and warnings through VicEmergency app, website and hotline (1800 226 226).
