Here it comes. Look out Chicago. Twenty-three feet in Lake Michigan and up to 14 feet in the other lakes.

It will be cold in Michigan by Election Day, local candidate offices should try to help with a call in number if people are having a difficult time getting to the polling places. Don't spend all the funding on ads, if rental vans are a realistic need. Good luck.

Strong north winds are expected to make dangerous waves on Lake Michigan. The waves could build to 23 feet at the very southern end of Lake Michigan.

Dangerous waves are going to develop on Michigan's Great Lakes during the day Friday. (click here)

A strengthening storm system will move straight over Michigan, while deepening at the same time. A deepening storm means the wind speeds will increase.

The winds will be straight out of the north, which really builds the wave heights, especially on Lake Michigan. The flow of air down the entire length of Lake Michigan will cause waves to increase heading south on Lake Michigan. Winds are expected to gust over 40 MPH on all of the Great Lakes shores. There is a storm warning in effect, and waves could build to 23 feet at the south end of Lake Michigan.

Stay off the piers Friday. The higher lake levels, combined with the high waves will make it too dangerous....
