open lake forecast for lake michigan
national weather service milwaukee/sullivan wi
303 am cst wed jan 7 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...

a high pressure ridge averaging 29.8 inches will slide across the
upper great lakes today. we cannot rule out seeing some pockets 
of dense marine fog at times given the relatively warm air over
the cooler waters. look for southerly winds to increase as low 
pressure of 29.5 inches develops over the northern plains. that 
trough will lift into northern ontario thursday, but a stronger 
low of 29.3 inches will track across central lake michigan 
thursday night. expect breezy southerly winds over the south half 
of lm. the low will reach southern quebec on friday, and breezy 
northwest to west winds will develop behind it. 

friday night, low pressure over the mid mississippi river valley
will strengthen to 29.4 inches as it lifts into the eastern great
lakes saturday evening. expect stronger northerly winds with the 
potential to see some gales over the open waters of lake michigan
through sunday morning.
