open lake forecast for lake michigan
national weather service milwaukee/sullivan wi
859 am cdt wed sep 16 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 around 30.4 inches will track east across southern
ontario through today, with mostly northeast winds. a frontal 
feature stalled over the southern tip of the lake may allow for 
isolated thunderstorms through today. predominantly light and 
variable winds expected late tonight through thursday as high 
pressure continues to build eastward and additional reinforcing 
high pressure builds back in across the canadian prairies.

breezy east to northeast winds may then develop friday into this 
weekend as low pressure around 29.8 inches develops in the 
central plains and lifts into the upper midwest by saturday.
gusty southeasterly winds develop saturday as low pressure
approaches, crossing the southern portion of the lake as high
pressure continues across ontario, bringing continued generally
easterly winds and perhaps gales at times throughout the day.
saturday night, winds turn northeasterly, continuing through
sunday. gale potential diminishes late saturday night, although
gusts around 30 kt are possible through sunday for the southern
two-thirds.
