national weather service milwaukee/sullivan wi
845 pm cdt mon sep 14 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...

southerly winds will increase to gales by late this evening and
continue through the night. a gale warning is in effect. the 
gales will then decrease from south to north across the lake 
through tuesday morning. the southerly gales are a result of low 
pressure around 29.3 inches tracking from southern manitoba toward
southern hudson bay through tuesday. the trailing cold front will
then slow and weaken as it moves across the lake tuesday afternoon
into early evening. modest northwest winds tuesday evening will
shift to northeasterly by early wednesday morning as high 
pressure around 30.4 inches moves across the northern great lakes.  
lighter winds will then prevail wednesday night into friday until  
stronger southerly winds return friday night and saturday ahead 
of another low pressure area approaching from the great plains.
