open lake forecast for lake michigan
national weather service milwaukee/sullivan wi
259 am cdt fri mar 20 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...

south to southwest winds continue as a low pressure around 29.7
inches moves southeast through northern lower michigan. winds will
shift to northwest to north later this morning as cold front
shifts across the lake behind the exiting low. tonight winds will
become light as high pressure around 30.3 inches builds in from
ontario. 

low pressure around 29.5 inches develops in the lee of the 
wyoming rockies saturday morning, shifting winds south. the low 
should move southeastward saturday night, allowing winds to 
increase and shift to the north and northeast across the northern
half of the lake. 

the low should move across central illinois into indiana sunday, 
as it deepens to around 29.4 inches. this should lead to northerly
winds backing to northwesterly sunday into sunday night across the
lake. a few gales are possible during this timeframe. high 
pressure around 30.5 inches should then bring decreasing winds 
for monday.
