open lake forecast for lake superior
national weather service marquette mi
1001 am edt tue may 26 2026
for waters beyond 5 nautical miles of shore on lake superior.
waves are the significant wave height - the average of the
highest 1/3 of the wave spectrum. occasional wave height is the
average of the highest 1/10 of the wave spectrum.
.synopsis...
lake superior will remain under the influence of 29.8 inch troughing
until tonight, when weak ridging of 30.1 inches builds in over lake
superior thanks to a 30.4 inch high over the western shores of
hudson bay. this parent high then shifts southward over lake
superior on thursday, causing pressure to increase to 30.3 inches.
on friday, the high weakens to around 30.1 inches as it continues
its southerly propagation. following this, a second ridge pushing in
from hudson bay brings 30.1 inch ridging back over lake superior
late on friday, with the ridging increasing once again to 30.3
inches by saturday midday as the parent high over hudson bay pushes
south. by sunday morning, this ridging decreases to 30.1 inches as
the parent high moves toward the lower great lakes.
