open lake forecast for lake michigan
national weather service milwaukee/sullivan wi
927 pm cdt wed jun 17 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...

low pressure around 29.2 inches will track across central 
portions of the lake tonight. with the tight pressure gradient
will see gusty northeast to northerly winds across the northern 
third of the lake and gusty southwest to west winds for the 
southern third. occasional gusts up to 30 knots possible, 
especially for the southern portions of the lake. 

as low pressure exits into michigan early thursday morning,
expect all winds to shift to become northwesterly and diminish
gradually into thursday. winds remain light and northwesterly
through the remainder of thursday and through friday as high
pressure around 30.0 inches progresses southeastward into the
lower mississippi valley. winds may briefly turn southwesterly
friday night as weak low pressure moves through the region, but
high pressure will rapidly regain dominance by saturday, 
keeping winds light and variable. stronger low pressure will 
approach from the central plains on sunday, bringing more 
widespread rain and thunderstorms and turning winds to 
northeasterly. northeast winds will continue into early next 
week.
