Boaters and mariners on Lake Erie should prepare for moderate winds and fluctuating wave heights, which could impact navigation and safety. Showers are expected intermittently, particularly overnight Thursday and Friday morning, which may reduce visibility. Wave heights will peak at 2 to 4 feet on Friday night, posing risks for smaller vessels. The shifting wind directions could also create challenging conditions for those unfamiliar with the lake's weather patterns. [Source: NDBC]
