open lake forecast for lake michigan
national weather service milwaukee/sullivan wi
832 am cdt mon aug 24 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...
29.7 inch low pressure remains nearly stationary over western
quebec this afternoon, resulting in continued breezy northwest
winds across the open waters of lake michigan. the breezy
conditions will continue through through the remainder of the
afternoon as the low lingers over the same general vicinity.
currently centered from western lake superior toward north-central
wisconsin, 30.1 inch high pressure will gradually work over lake
michigan this evening, bringing decreasing winds. expect readings
to become light and variable near or just after sunset.
light and variable winds will continue into tonight as high pressure
lingers over the western great lakes. the high will shift east into
ontario tomorrow, resulting in a south-southwest wind shift across
the waters. 29.7 inch low pressure will approach from the
northern great plains tomorrow night into wednesday, reinforcing
the south-southwesterly wind pattern. the low will cross lake
michigan during the second half of the day wednesday, bringing a
breezy northwest wind shift. gales are not expected as this
occurs. showers and thunderstorms will accompany the
approaching/passing surface low tomorrow night into wednesday
afternoon. widespread severe weather is unlikely in these storms,
though an isolated stronger storm with hail and gusty winds can't
be ruled out. the next area of 30.1 inch high pressure will
gradually build toward lake michigan from the northern great
plains wednesday night through friday, bringing slowly decreasing
winds. shower and storm chances return this weekend. whether any
storms will be severe remains uncertain, with trends being
monitored through this week.
