open lake forecast for lake michigan
national weather service milwaukee/sullivan wi
314 am cst tue jan 19 2021

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 persist today as low pressure around 29.9 
inches continue to push east across the northern great lakes and 
as high pressure builds to the south of lake michigan. there will
also be a weakening surface wave to move across the upper 
mississippi river valley today as well. then another low around 
29.1 inches is expected to cross manitoba and ontario wednesday 
and thursday. gusty southwest winds look to develop ahead of the 
system, with gales looking increasingly likely for wednesday 
afternoon and night. thus, a gale watch remains in effect for 
this time. then a cold front pushes across the lake and gusty 
west to northwest winds, generally remaining below gales, will 
develop wednesday night and continue through friday.
