High Swim Risk Today

Strong/Severe Storms Possible on Friday

Increasing south winds, building waves, and periodic shower/storm chances will result in hazardous marine and beach conditions on Lake Michigan today and tonight. It is recommended to stay out of the water, and mariners should consider altering their plans. Small craft should also exercise caution on the Bay. A Small Craft Advisory and Beach Hazard Statement remain in effect.

Scattered showers/storms are expected to re-develop Friday afternoon following an initial round of storms Friday morning. A storm or two could become strong or severe Friday afternoon and evening, with damaging winds and up to 1" hail the primary concerns.
