open lake forecast for lake michigan
national weather service milwaukee/sullivan wi
321 am cdt tue aug 11 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 southeasterly to southerly winds will continue over the
southern half of lake michigan today, while light and variable
winds will continue over the northern half. some marine dense fog
has formed early this morning along the wisconsin shoreline of 
the lake, and this fog should continue into the mid- morning 
before storms roll across the lake. light and variable winds will
then be prevalent over the whole lake tonight.

this weather pattern will continue through midweek with periodic 
shower and thunderstorm chances for southern portions of the lake 
as small areas of low pressure follow along the stalled front. the
front finally begins to sag southward through the end of the week
allowing high pressure around 30.2 inches to build down across 
the upper great lakes through friday. then as the high pressure 
pushes east expect low pressure to develop over the plains and 
track across the great lakes through the weekend bringing 
increasing southerly winds.

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...

this morning, lake superior is under weak 29.9 inch ridging broadly 
associated with 30.1 inch high pressure over the appalachians while 
29.6 inch low pressure is over labrador and 29.8 inch low pressure 
is over the central plains. by tonight, the labrador low descends to 
the gulf of st lawrence and deepens to 29.5 inches while the plains 
low deepens to 29.7 inches, eroding the ridge over lake superior to 
29.8 inches. this pattern holds until thursday morning, when a 30.2 
inch high over the canadian rockies begins to extend stronger 
ridging over lake superior before eventually becoming centered over 
the lake friday afternoon. a 29.9 inch trough then moves over the 
western end of the lake saturday afternoon as the 30.2 inch high 
moves over the lower great lakes. this trough consolidates to a 29.8 
inch low as it passes over the lake, reaching ontario by sunday 
afternoon, with 30.1 inch ridging to follow.
