open lake forecast for lake michigan
national weather service milwaukee/sullivan wi
306 am cdt thu jul 23 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...

light and variable winds are expected through today, as high 
pressure around 30.1 inches crosses wisconsin and southern lake 
michigan. southerly winds develop by friday, as the high move 
into the northeastern united states. a 29.5 inch low pressure 
system will move quickly from the canadian great plains toward 
quebec friday through saturday, maintaining south to southwest 
winds over lake michigan. 

the low will attempt to pull a cold front into the western great 
lakes on saturday, with the boundary slowly advancing south across
the waters through saturday night. this will result in returning 
thunderstorm chances. 

a stationary front is expected to sit across lake michigan 
through the middle of next week, so there will be switches between
northerly and southerly winds at times. this front will be the 
focus for several rounds of thunderstorms, possibly strong to 
severe.
