open lake forecast for lake michigan
national weather service milwaukee/sullivan wi
933 pm cst mon nov 24 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...

southerly winds will decrease overnight, as the broadened low 
pressure around 29.7 inches pushes over the western great lakes 
region through tuesday. the low will strengthen to 29.6 inches as
it tracks across minnesota tuesday. the associated cold front 
surges across southern lake michigan tuesday night and shifts
through northern lake michigan wednesday, as the low further 
deepens to 29.3 inches over eastern lake superior. the strong low
will generally maintain its strength as it crosses ontario 
wednesday night and quebec on thursday.

westerly gales will likely develop over southern lake michigan 
early wednesday morning and expand into the north half several 
hours later. the westerly gales will become northwesterly 
wednesday night and persist into thursday afternoon before 
diminishing. it remains possible for some storm force gusts 
wednesday afternoon and night, and we cannot rule out a shorter- 
fused storm warning. however, a gale watch remains in effect at 
this time.

winds will diminish friday, as high pressure of 30.5 inches 
crosses the midwest. look for southerly winds to develop sunday,
as low pressure develops over the western half of the country. 
more gales will be possible this weekend into early next week.
