331 pm cdt sat mar 14 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 of 30.2 inches will slide east later today and 
easterly winds will steadily increase tonight through sunday, as 
a low pressure system around 29.3 inches forms in the central 
great plains. the low will progress over far southern lake 
michigan sunday evening as it deepens to around 29.1 inches, 
resulting in strong northerly winds developing.

strong winds will shift out of the northwest monday, as the 
strong low continues to move into ontario. expect another 
prolonged period of gales and storm force gusts early sunday 
morning through monday night as the low progresses through the 
region. the best chance for storm force gusts will be across the
northern two-thirds of the lake.

prolonged snow is expected saturday night through 
monday, some of which could be heavy over northern portions of the
lake. sleet or freezing rain should mix in with rain and snow 
over central and parts of northern lake michigan saturday night 
into sunday, with mainly rain and perhaps a few thunderstorms in 
the far southern portions of the lake sunday into sunday evening. 
snow is then expected over southern portions of the lake sunday 
night into monday night.

freezing spray potential will increase monday and linger into
tuesday behind the departing low, with areas of moderate to heavy
freezing spray possible. the heavy freezing spray watch continues.
