Sunny skies may make it feel like a great day near Lake Erie, but waves will be elevated on Saturday and the lake water is still cold. A Beach Hazards Statement is in effect for portions of the Lake Erie shoreline, with waves of 3 to 5 feet possible. Even if you’re not planning to swim, use caution near piers, breakwalls, river outlets, and the shoreline. Conditions will also be hazardous for small craft.
