open lake forecast for lake michigan
national weather service milwaukee/sullivan wi
309 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, veering winds northeast by mid-morning. 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.
