open lake forecast for lake michigan
national weather service milwaukee/sullivan wi
937 pm cdt mon mar 23 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...

winds are expected to become southwesterly breezy over the 
northern end of lake michigan over the next few hours. this will
happen as high pressure of 30.5 inches moves east and a sharper 
pressure gradient between the high and low pressure of 29.9 near
james bay moves over the lake. a few gale force gusts may occur on
an intermittent basis especially between 7am and noon cdt. 

winds will then ease during the early afternoon as a cold front
approaches the northern end of the lake and stalls through the
afternoon and into the evening.

largely south winds will then remain through wednesday into
thursday morning, as a broad low pressure around 29.8 inches 
approaches from the west. the next best chance for gales will come
thursday evening as the backside of a low pressure system around 
29.6 inches works southeast and a cold front plunges southward
down the lake.
