Overview

• Beach hazards statements cover shores of Lakes Superior, Huron, Erie and Ontario across Ohio, Pennsylvania, Michigan, Minnesota, Wisconsin and New York.
• Forecasts call for waves up to about 6 feet and strong rip and longshore currents that can carry swimmers away from shore.
• Advisories remain in effect through Tuesday with some extending into Wednesday evening based on local updates.
• The National Weather Service urges people to avoid swimming and to stay off piers and other shoreline structures until conditions improve.
• NWS Cleveland’s Jim Sullivan said even around 20 mph winds can build 4‑foot waves on Lake Erie and indicated this should be the last statement of the season, while some local authorities may post warnings or restrict access.
