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

.synopsis...

light winds, combined with a lingering humid air mass, will

tonight. off and on thunderstorms remain possible through 
wednesday as a cold front lingers just to the north of the open 
waters. widespread severe weather isn't expected in any 
thunderstorm activity, though an isolated stronger cell with hail 
and gusty winds can't be entirely ruled out. 

light to modest southerly winds today will shift east- 
northeasterly through the second half of the week as 30.1 inch 
high pressure builds over the hudson bay and broad, 29.6 inch low 
pressure moves into the northern great plains. an unsettled 
pattern featuring multiple additional thunderstorm chances will 
continue through at least friday night. similar to earlier week 
storms, widespread severe weather isn't anticipated, though 
isolated stronger storms with hail and gusty winds are possible.

open lake forecast for lake michigan
national weather service milwaukee/sullivan wi
857 am cdt tue sep 1 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...

light winds, combined with a lingering humid air mass, will 
support areas of fog development across lake michigan through 
tonight. off and on thunderstorms remain forecast through 
wednesday morning as a cold front lingers just to the north of the
open waters. widespread severe weather isn't expected in any 
thunderstorm activity, though an isolated stronger cell with hail 
and gusty winds can't be entirely ruled out. 

light to modest southerly winds today will shift east- 
northeasterly through the second half of the week as 30.1 inch 
high pressure builds over the hudson bay and broad, 29.6 inch low 
pressure moves into the northern great plains. an unsettled 
pattern featuring multiple additional thunderstorm chances will 
continue through at least friday night. similar to earlier week 
storms, widespread severe weather isn't anticipated, though 
isolated stronger storms with hail and gusty winds are possible.
