224 am cst tue jan 13 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...

gusty west to southwest winds are expected across the lake today,
as low pressure deepens across southwestern ontario. by tonight,
that low will deepen to 29.1 inches and will push east into
western quebec. 

as that low deepens and moves east it will push a strong, arctic
cold front down lake michigan this evening into tonight. northwest
winds will rapidly increase to gale force behind the front, with
gales continuing into wednesday evening. gale warnings are in
effect for all of lake michigan. moderate to occasionally heavy
freezing spray is expected during this time as well. 

by late wednesday night high pressure of 30.3 inches will build
south across the upper mississippi valley, and will eventually
move across the lake on thursday, bringing lighter winds. winds
will briefly turn westerly to southwesterly thursday evening and
night, before another strong cold front sweeps across the region
early friday.
