open lake forecast for lake michigan
national weather service milwaukee/sullivan wi
300 am cdt sat oct 17 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...

low pressure around 29.4 inches has moved well east of the region,
as strong high pressure around 30.6 inches remains over the 
central plains but begins to nudge in. scattered showers will 
linger this morning over the southern half of lake michigan. a 
few rumbles of thunder and some isolated waterspout potential will
remain over the south half of lake michigan.

as the high shifts toward the ohio river valley today, strong low
pressure around 29.0 inches will develop in south central canada,
shifting toward and into hudson bay on sunday. this will likely 
bring southwest gales to far northern portions of lake michigan 
tonight into sunday night. gale warning is now in effect from 9z 
sunday until 6z monday for the northern third of lake michigan.

high pressure around 30.5 inches should develop east northeast
of the region next week, bringing dry conditions and light to
modest winds.
