open lake forecast for lake michigan
national weather service milwaukee/sullivan wi
858 pm cst fri mar 6 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...

low pressure around 29.6 inches centered over iowa will track
northeastward across wisconsin and the upper peninsula of 
michigan through the overnight hours, deepening to 29.5 inches. 
southwesterly winds will prevail ahead of this low through the 
overnight hours, with one last round of showers and thunderstorms 
crossing the lake after midnight. light to modest winds and milder
temps will also create conditions favorable for marine fog to 
develop at times this evening into saturday morning. thus a marine
dense fog advisory is in effect for periodic drops in visibilities
to less than 1 nm at times. the low will drag a cold front across
the upper great lakes into saturday morning. will see breezy west
to northwesterly winds behind the front and usher out the marine 
fog by late saturday morning. westerly winds will prevail through 
saturday night before increasing and turning more southwesterly 
for sunday into monday as a series of two low pressure systems 
develop and track north of lake michigan through this time frame. 
cannot rule out a brief potential for gales sunday and monday for 
the northern third of the open waters of lake michigan.
