SHEBOYGAN COUNTY, WI (WHBL) - Anyone planning to enjoy the waters of Lake Michigan Friday, will have to be careful.
The National Weather Service has issued a Beach Hazard Statement for the Sheboygan shoreline south to the Wisconsin/Illinois border through this evening. Weather conditions are favorable for high waves, strong long-shore and structural currents, and possible rip currents.
Officials say anyone going out in the water should be cautious and prepare for dangerous swimming conditions.
The combination of cooler air and warm waters could also spawn a few weak waterspouts near the shoreline. The greatest threat is expected to be closer to the state border than in our area.
