947 pm est thu jan 15 2026

waves are the significant wave height - the average of the highest
1/3 of the wave spectrum. occasional wave height is the average of
the highest 1/10 of the wave spectrum.

.synopsis...two main low pressure systems affect the great lakes
over the next few days. the first system moves in from central
canada early friday morning to near the west end of lake superior
at 29.50 inches by the afternoon. it dominates the weather across
the great lakes with a wide range of conditions. temperatures
moderate in the first phase of the system as a pattern of snow
moves across lake huron and lower mi into friday night. this is
followed by a brief period of high pressure and then the second
low pressure system that brings progressively colder conditions
highlighted by a surge of arctic air late sunday through early
next week.
