open lake forecast for lake michigan
national weather service milwaukee/sullivan wi
902 pm cst fri feb 27 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 deepening to around 29.1 inches over ontario this 
evening dragged a cold front across northern lake michigan 
tonight. westerly gale force gusts over 40 kt are ongoing and 
will become northwesterly after midnight. look for gusts to 
diminish below gales early saturday morning. then the low pressure
will lift northeast through the day saturday with gusty northerly
winds lingering until an arctic high pressure builds to around 
30.7 inches across the upper midwest saturday evening and 
gradually slides east through the start of next week. expect 
lighter winds to accompany this high pressure and eventually turn 
southerly monday into mid next week.
