TWENTY TWO! That's the number listed for our maximum wave height on Friday, October 16th, 2026. If you've missed all the chatter about Friday's storm system moving in, it's going to feature four things. Rain, wind, waterspouts, and yes... crazy waves. We could call it the Gales of November if it was November, but alas, it's still October. Waves 18-22 feet will be likely along southeastern Lake Michigan, southern Lake Huron, and south-central Lake Superior as winds gust out of the north and northwest on Friday. Small crafts will be damaged or destroyed upon attempting to traverse the choppy waters. Additionally, all marine traffic will need to keep an eye out for occasional waterspouts as hinted at above. Lakeshore properties, close your windows to avoid drenching your interior. Photographers, enjoy the photo opportunities but be smart in doing so. -- Trusted Partner of the Day -- Victors Home Solutions | From our free 21-Point Roof Inspection to our 50-Year Leak Free Guarantee, we’ll protect your home and family for years to come.
