open lake forecast for lake michigan
national weather service milwaukee/sullivan wi
256 pm cdt sun mar 29 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...
breezy southwest winds continue through this afternoon as a cold
front begins to approach the waters from the north. the front will
gradually advance south across lake michigan tonight through
tuesday. this will result in generally east-northeast winds across
the northern half of the lake with southerly winds further south. a
few gales are possible over southeastern lake michigan monday night,
but aren't expected to be widespread. periods of showers and
thunderstorms will accompany the slow-moving front, with a few
stronger storms possible monday night and once again on tuesday.
large hail would be the primary threat in any stronger storms.
winds will trend northerly behind the departing cold front tuesday
evening through wednesday. will be monitoring trends for a few gusts
approaching gale force tuesday night into wednesday, with the
current expectation being for any such gusts to be isolated. 30.7
inch high pressure will shift from ontario to quebec through the
late week time period as 29.8 inch low pressure builds into the
ohio river valley, allowing winds to trend east-northeasterly.
will need to watch for additional isolated gale potential thursday
into friday as low pressure passes near or over lake michigan,
with the continued expectation for any gusts to be too sparse to
justify headlines. will nevertheless be monitoring trends into
this week. additional rain and snow will accompany the
approaching/passing area of low pressure thursday into next
weekend.
