open lake forecast for lake michigan
national weather service milwaukee/sullivan wi
257 pm cdt mon oct 13 2025
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...
29.4 inch low pressure is moving into the hudson bay this
afternoon, resulting in generally east to southeast winds across
the open waters of lake michigan. said low will drag a cold front
across the lake this evening, resulting in a breezy northerly wind
shift. breezy north to northeast winds will continue tuesday
through tuesday night as 30.4 inch high pressure builds into the
northern great plains. the high will cross lake michigan on
wednesday, allowing winds to taper across the waters. winds will
turn out of the south to southeast on thursday, when 29.5 inch low
pressure is forecast to develop over the northern great plains.
the low will deepen to near 29.3 inches near lake winnipeg
thursday night through friday, allowing winds to increase further
across lake michigan. gusts could approach gale force during this
time frame, with trends being monitored through the coming
forecasts. winds will remain breezy as they turn out of the
southwest on saturday. winds will increase again as they turn out
of the northwest on sunday behind a cold front. additional gales
will be possible as this occurs.
periods of showers will accompany the series of low pressure &
frontal passages through this weekend. peak periods of shower
potential will be through this evening, tuesday night, and thursday
through saturday. a few rumbles of thunder could accompany showers,
though severe weather is not anticipated at this time.
