Beach Weather This Weekend?

With forecast highs in the middle to upper-80s Saturday and Sunday, it might be tempting to take a dip in the lake. If you do so, just be forewarned that water temperatures are still very chilly on Lake Michigan! The southern Lake Michigan buoy is still only at 51 degrees! (Yes, it takes awhile for such a large body of water to warm-up.) Nearshore waters may be in the upper-50s or so, but that's still colder than most folks want to deal with. However, the smaller inland lakes are probably between 65 and 70 degrees right now. Still cool, but a little more tolerable! Have a great weekend, and happy Memorial Day!  --TS
