open lake forecast for lake michigan
national weather service milwaukee/sullivan wi
900 pm cdt sun oct 11 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...

broad low pressure around 29.5 inches over the central plains to
minnesota will drive south-southwesterly winds through the 
overnight hours and into monday. this low is expected to lift into
minnesota and eventually central wisconsin by monday evening. 
expecting scattered showers and isolated thunderstorms to develop
monday night as the low approaches and crosses the open waters. 
winds shift to northwesterly on tuesday as an associated cold
front crosses the lake and the low pressure exits east. the front
may stall just south of the lake tuesday night, with a light
northerly breeze across the lake and shower / thunderstorm 
potential towards the southern end of the lake. 

high pressure around 30.2 inches building into the northern plains
will keep winds northerly into wednesday, turning northeasterly
wednesday night and easterly into thursday as the high pressure
passes north of the lake and low pressure of 29.9 inches develops
near missouri / illinois. 

low pressure looks to cross lake michigan thursday night, with
strong high pressure descending from western canada into the
dakotas / nebraska into friday. the pressure gradient between
these two systems will drive strong northwest winds across the 
lake friday through friday night, with potential for gale force 
winds.
