... Beach hazards statement in effect through this evening...
The National Weather Service in Chicago has issued a beach hazards statement for dangerous swimming conditions... which is in effect through this afternoon.
* High wave action expected...
* strong rip currents expected...
* strong structural currents expected...
* overview/potential impacts... strong north to northeast winds will gust to 30 to 35 mph this morning before diminishing into the afternoon. Waves of 6 to 9 ft with occasional larger waves will gradually subside through the afternoon. The winds and waves will create dangerous conditions at Lake Michigan beaches.
Precautionary/preparedness actions...
Dangerous pounding waves and life-threatening rip currents are expected at the beaches. People visiting the beaches should stay out of the water.
Rip currents are powerful channels of water flowing quickly away from shore... which occur most often at low spots or breaks in sandbars. Rip currents can sweep you out lakeward.
Structural currents form along piers and breakwalls where longshore currents and wave action flow into the structure. Structural currents can sweep you out lakeward along the pier structure.
