open lake forecast for lake ontario
national weather service buffalo ny
1002 pm edt thu aug 13 2026
for waters beyond five nautical miles of shore on lake ontario
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...
a high pressure ridge averaging 30.2 inches begins to build from the
canadian prairies tonight before settling over lake ontario and
vicinity by this saturday. the ridge begins to exit eastward
saturday night through sunday morning and allows a warm front to
sweep northeastward across lake ontario as a low of 29.7 inches
moves eastward across the northern great lakes. this low should move
generally east-southeastward from near the northern great lakes to
near the gulf of maine later sunday through this monday. the low
track should allow a cold front to sweep eastward across lake
ontario sunday evening through sunday night. behind the cold front,
a high pressure ridge averaging 30.0 inches should attempt to build
from the upper midwest through monday. the high is expected to move
off the east coast tuesday.
