Cooler today with breezy northwest winds

High Swim Risk Today for Most Beaches

Cooler temperatures today (with highs in the 60s and low 70s). Northwest winds will be breezy with frequent gusts of 20 to 25 mph (higher near coastal areas). Partly cloudy skies with an occasional shower or two. Temperatures will gradually warm this week, before a return of storm chances mid week.

A high swim risk is in place for all Lake MI beaches south of the Straits (with the exception of southern Grand Traverse Bay), as well as Presque Isle, and Alpena county beaches today. Waves of 3-7 feet and life-threatening rip currents are expected at times through tonight. For more information, please visit: weather.gov/GreatLakes/BeachHazards.
