waves

Something called a "mid-latitude cyclone" swept through Michigan over the weekend. Up to ten foot waves were recorded along West Michigan's Lakeshore. Here's video of the big waves on the big lake Sunday afternoon.

Today's storms will also bring flooding and beach erosion. Piers will be very dangerous.

The waves are expected to peak on Tuesday night.

Stormy weather is bringing dangerous swimming conditions and big waves to Lake Michigan through Friday night.
West Michigan is expected to see the most dangerous conditions.

We had huge waves on Lake Michigan just a couple of weeks ago, including a 21-foot wave just west of Holland.  The waves could get even bigger on the Great Lakes this weekend.
