for waters beyond five nautical miles of shore on lake michigan.

waves are provided as a range of significant wave heights, which

average height of the highest 10% of the waves which will

.synopsis...

light winds will dominate throughout the morning, with a line of
severe thunderstorms expected to cross the southern third around
midday today. main hazards with these storms will be strong gusty
winds, but an isolated waterspout cannot be ruled out.

light winds are expected to then continue throughout the week,
with periodic shower and thunderstorm chances for southern 
portions of the lake as weak areas of low pressure follow along 
a stalled front over the lake. this front finally begins to sag 
southward through friday, allowing high pressure around 30.2 
inches to build down across the upper great lakes. as the high 
pressure pushes east this weekend, expect low pressure to develop
over the plains and track across the great lakes, bringing 
increasing southerly winds.

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...

this morning, lake superior remains under weak 29.9 inch ridging 
broadly associated with 30.1 inch high pressure over the southern 
appalachians while 29.6 inch low pressure is over labrador and 29.8 
inch low pressure is over the central plains. by tonight, the 
labrador low descends to the gulf of st lawrence and deepens to 29.5 
inches while the plains low deepens to 29.7 inches, eroding the 
ridge over lake superior to 29.8 inches. this pattern holds until 
thursday morning, when a 30.2 inch high over the canadian rockies 
begins to extend stronger ridging over lake superior before 
eventually becoming centered over the lake at 30.2 inches friday 
afternoon. a 29.9 inch trough then moves over the western end of the 
lake saturday afternoon as the 30.2 inch high moves over the eastern 
great lakes. this trough consolidates to a 29.8 inch low as it 
passes over lake superior, reaching ontario by sunday afternoon, 
with 30.1 inch ridging to follow.

open lake forecast for lake superior
national weather service marquette mi
1001 am edt tue aug 11 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...

this morning, lake superior remains under weak 29.9 inch ridging 
broadly associated with 30.1 inch high pressure over the southern 
appalachians while 29.6 inch low pressure is over labrador and 29.8 
inch low pressure is over the central plains. by tonight, the 
labrador low descends to the gulf of st lawrence and deepens to 29.5 
inches while the plains low deepens to 29.7 inches, eroding the 
ridge over lake superior to 29.8 inches. this pattern holds until 
thursday morning, when a 30.2 inch high over the canadian rockies 
begins to extend stronger ridging over lake superior before 
eventually becoming centered over the lake at 30.2 inches friday 
afternoon. a 29.9 inch trough then moves over the western end of the 
lake saturday afternoon as the 30.2 inch high moves over the eastern 
great lakes. this trough consolidates to a 29.8 inch low as it 
passes over lake superior, reaching ontario by sunday afternoon, 
with 30.1 inch ridging to follow.
