national weather service milwaukee/sullivan wi
239 pm cst sun mar 1 2026
for waters beyond five nautical miles of shore on lake michigan.
waves are provided as a range of significant wave heights, which
is the average of the highest 1/3 of the wave, along with the
average height of the highest 10% of the waves which will
occasionally be encountered.
.synopsis...
light and variable winds are expected into tonight as 30.6 inch
high pressure tracks eastward across the great lakes region. as
the high continues eastward into monday, a breezy southerly wind
develops (particularly over the northern half of the lake),
gradually diminishing into monday night. light easterly winds are
then expected through mid week (late tuesday through early thursday)
as a warm front develops from the central great plains into
central indiana and a weak low pressure system tracks eastward
along it. said low pressure system may approach the southern tip
of lake michigan at some point on thursday with a more modest
wind field, though no gales are expected with it.
