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...
high pressure of 30.2 continues to sink through the great lakes
into the ohio river valley today, bringing light northwest winds
shifting to southwesterly this afternoon. westerly winds will then
prevail over lake michigan through wednesday as weak low pressure
areas cross ontario. periods of gusty southwest winds switching
to northwest with the passage of each area of low pressure are
expected, especially over the north half. gustiest winds expected
early sunday morning through the afternoon and monday afternoon
into the evening. a few gale force gusts will be possible during
these periods.
the next low of around 29.8 inches crossing lower michigan on
wednesday will usher colder air into the region on brisk northerly
winds. lake effect snow and rain showers down the long axis of
lake michigan should develop wednesday night through thursday
night.
