Click the screenshot to see the animated Great Lakes waves forecast.

The storm that dropped barometric pressure in Minnesota to the lowest recorded point in state history and ruined countless umbrellas across Chicago is still whipping up waves in the Great Lakes.

Check out this animation from the NOAA Great Lakes Coastal Forecasting System for a look at how intense those waves will be over the next five days.

Waves more than 20 feet high could roll through northern Lake Superior Wednesday evening.
