open lake forecast for lake ontario
national weather service buffalo ny
1002 pm edt thu oct 8 2026

for waters beyond five nautical miles of shore on lake ontario

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...a ridge averaging 30.1 inches should affect the lake as 
the parent high pressure center moves from the western great lakes 
toward the central appalachians. the ridge should exit slowly 
eastward friday night through saturday and allow a warm front to 
drift northward across the lake. on sunday through tuesday, a weak 
trough averaging 29.9 inches should overspread our area generally 
from the west and a cold front should sweep eastward across the lake 
on tuesday. simultaneously, the future remnant low of isaias should 
wobble northeastward from near the lower ohio valley to atlantic 
waters south of nova scotia and weaken to 29.6 inches during sunday 
through tuesday.

for waters beyond 5 nautical miles of shore on lake superior.

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...

through friday morning, a high will build to 30.2 inches south of 
the lower great lakes which will cause ridging of 30.1 inches over 
lake superior. this ridge is separating a pair of 29.4 inch lows, 
one over southern alberta and one off the labrador coast. throughout 
the day and into saturday morning, the high will build to 30.4 
inches over new york as the alberta low moves to southern 
saskatchewan. meanwhile, 29.7 inch hurricane isaias will move up the 
alabama/mississippi state line, eventually helping to kick the high 
east as it weakens. by early sunday morning, the canada low will 
split into 2 weaker 29.6 inch lows, one settling over the central 
plains and one moving from northern minnesota to northern ontario. 
meanwhile, the high will shift ot the new england coastline, ushered 
east by the tropical remnants now at 29.9 inches over tennessee. for 
sunday evening, the plains low will shift to eastern colorado at 
29.6 inches, extending a 29.8 inch trough over lake superior as the 
high and tropical remnants shift further east. the colorado low 
crosses the great lakes basin early next week, followed by 30.2 inch 
high pressure for the midweek.

open lake forecast for lake superior
national weather service marquette mi
1000 pm edt thu oct 8 2026

for waters beyond 5 nautical miles of shore on lake superior.

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...

through friday morning, a high will build to 30.2 inches south of 
the lower great lakes which will cause ridging of 30.1 inches over 
lake superior. this ridge is separating a pair of 29.4 inch lows, 
one over southern alberta and one off the labrador coast. throughout 
the day and into saturday morning, the high will build to 30.4 
inches over new york as the alberta low moves to southern 
saskatchewan. meanwhile, 29.7 inch hurricane isaias will move up the 
alabama/mississippi state line, eventually helping to kick the high 
east as it weakens. by early sunday morning, the canada low will 
split into 2 weaker 29.6 inch lows, one settling over the central 
plains and one moving from northern minnesota to northern ontario. 
meanwhile, the high will shift ot the new england coastline, ushered 
east by the tropical remnants now at 29.9 inches over tennessee. for 
sunday evening, the plains low will shift to eastern colorado at 
29.6 inches, extending a 29.8 inch trough over lake superior as the 
high and tropical remnants shift further east. the colorado low 
crosses the great lakes basin early next week, followed by 30.2 inch 
high pressure for the midweek.
