The Beach Hazards Statement is set to expire at 4pm as winds and waves have weakened. However, tonight winds and waves will pick back up and shift slightly more to the northeast. This will likely bring a high swim risk back into effect later tonight into Friday morning and possibly into the afternoon for the Lake Michigan beaches along Sheboygan, Ozaukee, Milwaukee, Racine and Kenosha Counties. Waves of 3 to 5 feet are expected again during this period thus another Beach Hazards Statement will likely be needed. $$
