national weather service milwaukee/sullivan wi
900 pm cdt fri may 15 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

.synopsis...

low pressure around 29.3 inches in western ontario is bringing

southern two thirds. a line of thunderstorms will push across the
lake into early saturday morning along a developing front.
isolated gusty, erratic winds are possible underneath

stalls south of lake michigan. another area of low pressure 
around 29.2 inches is forecast to develop over the plains on
sunday, lifting into the upper midwest into the start of next 
week. this will bring increasing southerly winds and additional 
shower and thunderstorm potential through monday night/tuesday. 
then high pressure looks to build in midweek behind the early 
week low pressure system.
