PANAMA CITY BEACH - Panama City Beach officials are warning swimmers to stay clear of the water this morning as single red flags are flying on the beach.
"The National Weather Service has issued a coastal warning of a high rip current risk, and visual inspection by the Bay County Sheriff’s Office and Panama City Beach Police Department has confirmed that conditions warrant single red flag status," officials wrote in a news release.
While the beaches only close when double red flags are flying the conditions are considered very dangerous to swimmers.
