The Milwaukee lakeshore observation located on the Port of Milwaukee grounds near the Lake Express Ferry terminal is experiencing intermittent data outages, most likely due to the power supply.  The observation stopped transmitting around 1 pm on September 2nd but resumed around 10 am on September 3rd.
