Memorial Day Weekend Forecast

Warmer Temperatures Ahead

Dense Marine Fog Tonight Into Monday

Moderate Swim Risk on Memorial Day

There is a 15-30% chance of showers and storms tonight and Monday. Although rain is in the forecast, much of the period will be dry. Some of the warmest temperatures of the year so far is possibly on Memorial Day.

The warmest day so far this year is forecast on Tuesday as high temperatures warm well into the 80s to lower 90s away from the bay and Lake Michigan. These readings will be within a few degrees of the record high for May 26th.

Dense fog expanded on Lake Michigan, resulting in a Dense Marine Fog Advisory until 10 am on Memorial Day for the nearshore waters from Washington Island to Sheboygan. The dense may try to expand onto the bay later tonight near Death's Door. The fog will be slow to clear on Memorial Day. There is a 15-30% chance of showers and storms on Memorial Day.

With the warmer temperatures expected on Memorial Day, persons heading out to the beaches on Lake Michigan should be on alert for moderate risk of rip currents due building waves. Also, water temperatures are very cold, thus limit time in the water to avoid cold water shock!
