Las Vegas, NV — The National Weather Service has issued a Lake Wind Advisory for Lake Mead and Lake Mohave. The advisory is in effect Sunday and Monday, with gusts expected to reach 45 mph.
According to the NWS, south winds between 20 to 30 mph will create choppy waters. Wave heights are predicted to reach 2 to 4 feet, with the largest swells occurring Monday. These conditions pose significant dangers for small craft and recreational boating.
Boaters and visitors are urged to exercise caution. The NWS stresses the importance of wearing life jackets, especially in these hazardous conditions. Strong winds combined with high waves can make navigating the lakes difficult.
If you still plan to visit the lakes this weekend, experts strongly recommend checking conditions frequently. Adjust your plans or prepare accordingly for challenging conditions on the water.
