... Lake Wind Advisory remains in effect until 7 PM EST this evening...
A lake Wind Advisory remains in effect until 7 PM EST this evening.

Precautionary/preparedness actions...
A lake Wind Advisory is issued when sustained winds are forecast to be 20 to 29 mph with frequent gusts to near or above gale force for at least 3 hours. Winds of these magnitudes will create rough conditions on larger area lakes which could produce damage to... or flip... small pleasure craft.
Outdoor enthusiasts may wish to postpone lake related activities until conditions improve.
