open lake forecast for lake michigan
national weather service milwaukee/sullivan wi
308 am cdt wed jul 15 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...

high pressure around 30.2 inches over the midwest and great lakes
region will continue to bring dry and warm westerly winds across 
lake michigan through this morning. a weak area of low pressure 
around 29.9 inches will gradually work its way across lake 
superior and down lake michigan through the day pushing the high 
pressure out and bringing a northeasterly wind shift across the 
lake later today into thursday. will see lighter winds on 
thursday as high pressure around 30.1 inches briefly builds back 
in before influence from a low pressure around 29.7 inches 
developing over the northern plains push eastward through the 
weekend bringing more southwesterly flow. as a result a cold front
will drag across the lake resulting in northerly wind shift 
toward the end of the weekend. additionally will see periodic 
shower and thunderstorm chances across the lake for the end of the
week through the weekend.
