open lake forecast for lake michigan
national weather service milwaukee/sullivan wi
326 am cdt sun oct 18 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...

strong high pressure around 30.6 inches will slowly move east 
through the northeast us today. strong low pressure around 29.2 
inches will move eastward into hudson bay today while deepening 
to around 29.0 inches. this will bring southwest gales to far 
northern portions of lake michigan now into tonight. a gale 
warning is in effect during this period for the northern third of 
lake michigan but we have expanded the gale warning southward a
bit to include the entire north half as wind appear likely to be a
bit more expansive than originally expected. building waves are 
also expected during this period.

high pressure around 30.5 inches will then develop east-northeast
of the region this week, bringing dry conditions and light to 
modest winds.
