pull a cold front across the waters wednesday night into 
thursday, delivering scattered showers and shifting winds to 
the west northwest.

national weather service marquette mi
1001 pm edt sun oct 4 2026

for waters beyond 5 nautical miles of shore on lake superior.

waves are the significant wave height - the average of the
highest 1/3 of the wave spectrum. occasional wave height is the
average of the highest 1/10 of the wave spectrum.

.synopsis...

a 29.5 inch low shifts into northern quebec tonight. it will be 
followed by a 30.3 inch high pressure shifting east into the great 
lakes tomorrow while strengthening to 30.2 inches. a 29.5 inch low 
then drops southeast out of northern canada, reaching northern 
ontario at 29.5 inches by tuesday evening. this brings 29.6 inch 
troughing over lake superior on tuesday, weakening to 29.7 inches 
through wednesday. high pressure builds back in from the canadian 
prairie and northern plains late in the week, resulting in 30.1 inch 
ridging over lake superior late thursday into friday.
