Newsweek - Multiple National Weather Service (NWS) forecast offices issued beach hazards and coastal hazard statements as of early Thursday, warning of life‑threatening waves, strong rip currents and the potential for piers to be heavily swamped.
The alerts covered portions of Wisconsin, Indiana, Michigan, Minnesota, Illinois, Ohio, New York and Pennsylvania.
The NWS warned that the combination of high waves, onshore winds and strong currents would create hazardous and potentially life‑threatening swimming conditions along shorelines.
Several bulletins said high waves could sweep people off piers and that strong currents could pull swimmers into deep water.
