Travel could be difficult, especially for high profile vehicles. Small boats, kayaks and paddle boards will be prone to capsizing and should remain off lake waters until conditions improve.

Check lake conditions before heading out and be prepared for a sudden increase in winds and wave heights. Consider postponing boating activities on the lake until a day with less wind.
