High Swim Risk for Some Beaches Today

Anticipating a transition to more rain showers through the day today amid a blustery, chilly feel that may conjure up autumnal vibes. Looking ahead, dry Friday but still cool… followed by minor shower chances through the weekend, though not anticipating a washout by any means.

We know today isn’t IDEAL beach weather, but for those wanting to channel their inner duck, we are obligated to inform you that a high swim risk is in place for some beaches today. Waves of 3-5 feet and life-threatening rip currents are expected at times through the afternoon. For more information, please visit: weather.gov/GreatLakes/BeachHazards.
