Midwest Looking at Some Severe Weather Potential - Thursday, Friday to monitor the Lakes for Surfing. Especially lake Superior. One more entry to Hurricane Florence Great Lakes hype center

Judging by Google's Hurricane Florence page the storm is pretty much dissipated after 4 days in Carolinas. Yet, GLERL weather maps suggest there could be stormy waves on the Lakes Thursday evening and through the weekend. The Hype Center is not closing just yet.

Google's Hurricane Florence page shows that lake Erie and Lake Ontario can be affected.

Not sure when and how, though. GLERL does not show much waves yet up to Sep 18 and then there no data further.

Overall the Lakes seem to be calming down, but web cams had captured some beautiful waves at sunset. Tomorrow does not seem promising too much. But I wish I could check-out Eastern corner of lake Erie. See the pictures and details in Hurricane Florence Great Lakes hype center

Morning September 9 is definitely good for surfing Lake Michigan mid West - South West shores and lake Erie mid to West both Canadian and US shores. Good chances fro East, South East shores of lake Superior, Huron, Ontario. Check out available camera shots for the morning in Hurricane Florence Great Lakes hype center.

Closer to noon September 8 GLERL nowcast maps are going into green territory for South East corners of lakes Michigan, Huron and Erie - that means up to 7 feet; and patches of up to 3-4 ft South East of Superior and Ontario. In Canada waves subdued on Grand Bend in favour of Sarnia, and it is still on for Hamilton/Fifty Point. In the US things go better for Port Huron, Sheboygan, Milwaukee, Chicago, Ogden Dunes, Indiana Dunes; Also Check out Mentor and other spots on South East coast of Erie.

Chicago looks good right now; Indiana Dunes is a bit curly. Sheboygan is getting fuzzy. In Canada: Grand Bend - some white water; Kincardine - Inverhuron we're about to get something. See that all at Hurricane Florence Great Lakes hype center

While Ben Gravy is talking about the East Coast in general, the Lakes are getting some commotion already. Surf forecast seem to be promising for the Great Lakes this weekend.

It just hit me by surprise, the Summer is over, and the new surfing season (I mean real serious one) is about to begin on the Great Lakes

Something to celebrate, eh?
Happy Labour Day!
