Angry Lake Erie and Unseasonably Cold Temperatures

 


Strong NE winds developed Thursday and Friday which piled up water in the western basin of Lake Erie. Video above is from Kelley's Island Friday courtesy Todd Neu.

Wave heights reached 10-15 feet before they settled down Saturday and Sunday


The low resembled a late fall, cut-off system. You can see how it developed over the upper midwest and then stalled in the southern Great Lakes.


Temperature started out 20+ degrees below normal Saturday morning across the Great Lakes.



High temperatures Saturday stayed in the lower 50s north and upper 50s south. Temperatures this cool (under 55) don't happen very often this late in the year.
