open lake forecast for lake michigan
national weather service milwaukee/sullivan wi
851 am cst wed dec 31 2025

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...

northwesterly winds prevail across the lake today as strong low
pressure around 28.2 inches meanders back into the hudson bay 
region. extending off of this low is a secondary cold front that 
is expected to slide down across the lake through the day with 
increasing northwesterly gusts behind it into this evening. 
cannot rule out seeing a few gales across the far northern 
portions of lake michigan this evening, but this window looks 
brief. thus have held off on any gale headlines at this time. 
however, with the colder airmass and gusty winds behind the cold 
front, moderate freezing spray will be a concern overnight into 
new year's day. winds will then slowly lessen through thursday as
high pressure around 30.3 inches builds down across the upper 
midwest thursday through the weekend.
