open lake forecast for lake michigan
national weather service milwaukee/sullivan wi
142 pm cdt wed oct 21 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 ridge of 30.3 inch high pressure is centered from the 
mississippi river into ontario this afternoon, resulting in light 
south to southwest winds across the open waters. winds will trend 
out of the northeast tonight through thursday night as the surface
ridge nudges east toward the ohio river and quebec. areas of fog 
are possible over the northern two-thirds of the lake late tonight
into thursday. whether any fog becomes dense remains uncertain, 
with visibility and satellite trends being closely monitored 
through this part of the period. persistent southerly winds will 
become established friday through the weekend as a cold front 
moves through the northern great plains and 30.5 inch high 
pressure settles into the northeastern united states. winds could 
be breezy at times, though widespread gales are not anticipated at
this time. will continue to monitor for possible increases 
through the second half of the week. aforementioned cold front 
will cross the waters sunday night, bringing a northerly wind 
shift through the first half of next week. rain showers are 
possible along the passing front.
