Officials and our team of Meteorologists are warning people to stay out of the water and off of the piers. Waves crashing on the piers could easily sweep a person away in a matter of seconds.
Waves are expect to be at their highest this afternoon, topping 10 feet at times!
Due to the high waves a Lakeshore Flood Advisory has been posted for Berrien and LaPorte counties until 8 PM Thursday evening. Strong rip currents and beach erosion is likely.
Waves start to subside tonight as winds calm. Tune into ABC 57 News at 5 pm for the latest on the flooding, wind and rain.
