The gales of November are coming REALLY early

18 foot waves predicted for Lake Superior
Strong northwest winds behind a severe weather making storm will also produce huge waves on Lake Superior.
Waves are expected to build to 14 to 18 feet in the southeastern part of Lake Superior. Just below is the wave forecast for 8 a.m. Thursday, October 4, 2018.
Winds are expected to howl at up to 60 mph for the Keweenaw Peninsula. Other parts of Lake Superior should have 45 mph to 55 mph sustained winds.
With the northwesterly winds, waves will build as they move across Lake Superior from northwest to southeast.
Could you imagine an 18 foot tall wave? That's about as high as a two-story house.
While Lower Michigan is going to stay warm for this time of year, this storm on Lake Superior reminds us the Gales of November can come in October also.
