LAKE MICHIGAN (WTAQ) – The National Weather Service is cautioning boaters.
A gale watch has been issued for part of Lake Michigan, including the section of Green Bay north of Sturgeon Bay.
A gale watch is issued when there is a significantly increased risk of gale-force winds of 39 to 54 miles per hour.
It ends Saturday night, but officials say it make take an additional day for lake conditions to calm.
The U.S. Coast Guard says those visiting the lake should be careful, advising people stay off rocks, jetties, and piers since high waves and heavy surf can sweep a person into the water.
