A heads-up to anyone planning to attend the final day of the Festival of Sail Tall Ships Two Harbors event on Sunday; forecast is calling for stronger winds and increased wave heights. The waterfront area of Two Harbors could see wind gusts as strong as 20-30 mph, and two- to three-foot waves are expected. Winds off of Lake Superior will cause much cooler temps around 55 degrees. Plan for fall-like weather conditions.
A reminder to festival-goers that the event is being held on marine infrastructure; wear appropriate footwear, use extra caution near edges, and people are not allowed on the lower platform of the breakwall.
