The National Weather Service Milwaukee/Sullivan issued a Gale Warning at 1:03 p.m. CST Monday, Nov. 2, for two offshore Lake Michigan segments near Sheboygan. The warning is in effect from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. CST Tuesday, Nov. 3.

The affected waters run from Two Rivers to Sheboygan and from Sheboygan to Port Washington, beginning 5 nautical miles offshore and extending to mid-lake. The NWS forecasts south winds of 20 to 25 knots, gusts up to 35 knots and waves of 7 to 10 feet. Hazardous waves could capsize or damage vessels and reduce visibility.

Mariners should adjust plans

The NWS advises mariners to alter plans to avoid hazardous conditions. Its guidance includes remaining in port, seeking safe harbor, changing course and/or securing vessels for severe conditions.

This Gale Warning applies to the specified offshore waters, not inland Sheboygan County. A separate Small Craft Advisory covers nearshore waters with different coverage and timing. Mariners should check current NWS marine alerts before heading out.
