open lake forecast for lake ontario
national weather service buffalo ny
403 am edt sun apr 12 2026

for waters beyond five nautical miles of shore on lake ontario

waves are the significant wave height - the average of the highest
1/3 of the wave spectrum. occasional wave height is the average of
the highest 1/10 of the wave spectrum.

.synopsis...a 30.5 inch area of high pressure will drift east 
into new england today, before sliding off the coast tonight. a 29.4 
inch low over the upper midwest today, will move quickly 
northeastward to near james bay tonight, while pushing an attendant 
warm front across the lake this afternoon. this low will strengthen 
to 29.2 inches while continuing to trek northeast into northern 
quebec monday, with a trailing cold front stalling near the lake 
monday through tuesday. a 29.5 inch surface low advancing through 
the upper great lakes wednesday will lift this frontal boundary 
northward into canada. this 29.5 inch low will continue northeast 
into southern quebec on thursday while dragging an attendant cold 
front across the lake. a 30.2 inch high will then build over the 
lower great lakes on friday.
