Boaters and marine operators in the nearshore waters of Lake Michigan should be prepared for changing wind directions and wave heights over the next few days. The slight chance of showers and thunderstorms, particularly on Tuesday night and Wednesday, could lead to reduced visibility and potentially hazardous conditions. Wave heights are expected to reach up to 4 feet on Thursday, which may pose challenges for smaller vessels. Mariners are advised to exercise caution and monitor updates from the NWS.
