849 am cst tue nov 25 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...

light and variable winds (predominantly southeasterly) will
persist through today as low pressure around 29.6 inches 
approaches from the minnesota/iowa border. this low pressure is 
expected to cross the upper peninsula of michigan through 
wednesday, deepening to around 29.3 inches. a cold front extending
south of the low is expected to cross lake michigan tonight, 
turning winds southwest and steadily increasing toward daybreak on
wednesday. gale warnings are in effect across the lake wednesday,
along with a storm force wind watch over the southern two thirds 
of the open waters, where we expect the strongest winds. winds 
veer due west by mid wednesday, then northwest late wednesday 
through thursday night. winds are expected to decrease below storm
force by daybreak thursday, but gale warnings do remain in effect
thursday into thursday night as gusty northwest winds continue. 
winds gradually subside into friday as high pressure builds into 
the region from the west.
