open lake forecast for lake michigan
national weather service milwaukee/sullivan wi
732 pm cdt tue apr 21 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 weak surface boundary will continue to work south into the
southern third of lake michigan tonight, leading to light and
variable winds with breezier winds further north. the light winds
could lead to areas of fog over the southern third of the open
waters through the overnight hours, with trends being monitored for
possible dense fog advisories through this evening. light north-
northeast winds will become established over all of lake michigan
after sunrise on wednesday, trending east-southeasterly during the
second half of the afternoon hours.
southerly winds will increase over the open waters wednesday night
through friday morning as 29.2 inch low pressure develops over
the northern great plains. while winds will be breezy, gales are
not anticipated at this time. the low will pull a cold front
across lake michigan friday afternoon and evening, resulting in a
breezy north- northwest wind shift. periods of showers and
embedded thunderstorms will accompany the approaching/passing
surface low & front thursday night through friday. severe weather
is not anticipated at this time.
north to northeast winds will continue through the weekend across
lake michigan. 29.5 inch low pressure will approach the open
waters from the great plains during the day on monday, resulting
in a breezy east wind shift. the low will cross lake michigan
monday night into tuesday, bringing a northwest wind shift by
tuesday evening. don't anticipate widespread gale potential as of
this forecast, though trends will continue to be monitored over
coming updates.
