open lake forecast for lake huron
national weather service detroit/pontiac mi

for waters beyond five nautical miles off shore on lake huron

waves are the significant wave height - the average of the highest
1/3 of the wave spectrum. occasional wave height is the average of
the highest 1/10 of the wave spectrum.

.synopsis...low pressure to the west affects the central great
lakes through the weekend. the system brings increasing southwest

stalls over lake huron and lower michigan until disloding monday 
night.
