Lake Havasu City, Arizona — Gusty north winds could create hazardous boating conditions on major Colorado River Valley lakes Sunday and Monday.

According to the National Weather Service in Las Vegas, a Lake Wind Advisory will be in effect from 8 a.m. Sunday through 8 p.m. Monday for waterways across the region, including Lake Mead, Lake Mohave, and Lake Havasu.

Forecasters say north winds of 15 to 25 mph with gusts up to 40 mph are expected across the Colorado River Valley during the advisory period. The winds could generate choppy waves of 1 to 3 feet, particularly on open water.

Those conditions may make boating difficult or dangerous, especially for smaller vessels, personal watercraft, and inexperienced boaters.

The National Weather Service warned that rapidly building waves and gusty winds can reduce boat control and increase the risk of capsizing in exposed areas of the lakes.

Officials recommend that anyone planning to be on the water check the latest recreational forecast before heading out and remain aware of changing conditions throughout the day.

The agency also urged boaters to wear life jackets while on the water, noting that wind-driven waves can develop quickly during advisory-level wind events.

Lake Mead, Lake Mohave, and Lake Havasu are among the busiest recreational waterways in the Southwest, particularly on weekends when boating traffic increases across Nevada, Arizona, and California.

For many students, seasonal workers, and weekend travelers visiting the lakes, changing wind conditions can quickly affect boating safety and travel plans.

Additional updates and marine forecasts are available through the National Weather Service Las Vegas office.
