Detroit, MI — A Small Craft Advisory remains in effect for Lake Huron’s nearshore waters until 4 PM Tuesday, as hazardous conditions persist. The National Weather Service (NWS) in Detroit has issued this advisory for areas from Outer Saginaw Bay to Port Huron, warning of northerly winds between 20 to 25 knots, with gusts up to 30 knots.
Wave heights are expected to reach 6 to 8 feet, with some areas experiencing waves as high as 12 feet. These conditions pose a significant risk to small vessels, making navigation difficult and potentially dangerous.
The advisory extends through the afternoon on Tuesday, urging boaters to exercise caution. The NWS advises mariners to consider staying in port or seeking safe harbor until conditions improve.
As winds gradually decrease late Tuesday, wave heights are expected to subside, bringing more favorable conditions by midweek. Until then, mariners are advised to remain vigilant and heed all warnings for their safety.
