open lake forecast for lake michigan
national weather service milwaukee/sullivan wi
311 am cdt mon apr 13 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...

a broad area of low pressure around 29.4 inches will become 
deeper over southern hudson bay through daybreak. this will bring
continued breezy south winds to all of lake michigan. gusts have 
decreased below gale force across northern lake michigan, where 
the gale warning has been allowed to expire as of 3 am cdt.

winds will weaken later this morning as the aforementioned area 
of low pressure quickly moves away and the trailing cold front 
stalls over central lake michigan. then, a couple passing low 
pressure system along the stalled front will lead to intermittent 
showers and thunderstorms through the middle of the week. areas of
dense fog will likely occur at times due to a relatively mild and
humid airmass over the cold waters. will be monitoring
observational trends and issuing dense fog advisories should
conditions warrant.
