Marquette, Mich. – Swimmers in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula are being urged to stay out of Lake Superior on Sunday as gusty northerly winds create dangerous waves along the beaches of Marquette and Alger counties. The National Weather Service warns of a high swim risk that could make conditions life-threatening, especially near breakwalls and piers.

According to the National Weather Service in Marquette, showers cleared out Saturday night, leaving behind breezy winds and cooler air. Temperatures Sunday will reach the upper 60s to low 70s, but choppy waters will remain the primary hazard along the shoreline.

Residents in Marquette, Munising, and surrounding communities should avoid swimming and instead seek safer inland recreation. The high swim risk is expected to last throughout the day Sunday. By Sunday night, thunderstorms are likely to move into the region, bringing periods of heavy rain into Monday morning.

Travelers along U.S. 41 and M-28 should be alert for reduced visibility and slick roads early Monday. Power outages are also possible as storms strengthen. Officials advise residents to secure outdoor items and prepare for changing conditions.

Thunderstorms remain in the forecast through Monday, with additional updates expected as the system develops.
