High Swim Risk Today

Early morning showers will depart, and northern lower Michigan will see a partly to mostly sunny day. But in the eastern UP, some showers and storms are likely to redevelop this afternoon. Saturday will see a return to wetter weather across much of northern Michigan. Some stronger thunderstorms are possible Saturday afternoon and evening. Associated showers will depart Sunday morning, with cooler weather in the offing for Sunday and Monday.

High swim risk is forecast today for the Lake Michigan beaches of Manistee and Benzie Counties, as well as for the Lake Huron beaches of Chippewa County in the far eastern UP. The same Lake Michigan beaches are also expected to see high swim risk on Saturday. Life-threatening rip currents are expected in these waters. Moderate swim risk is forecast for many of our waters for much of the weekend. In addition, water temperatures remain on the chilly side.
