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 gales over the northern half of lake michigan are 
expected to drop below gale force by later this evening. the 
gusty winds are a result of low pressure around 29.4 inches 
tracking across northern ontario. a cold front extending southward
from this low will move across the lake overnight into wednesday 
morning. this will turn winds briefly to the northwest wednesday 
morning, before becoming west by the afternoon. 

west to northwest winds will settle across the lake wednesday 
night into thursday, as high pressure around 30.1 inches moves 
into the northern plains. winds will once again become southerly 
later friday into friday night, as the high departs the upper 
great lakes and low pressure around 29.2 inches approaches from 
the northern plains.
