open lake forecast for lake huron
national weather service detroit/pontiac mi
950 pm est mon mar 2 2026

for waters beyond five nautical miles off shore on lake huron

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...high pressure over the northeast governs conditions
across the central great lakes this evening as winds decline. an
area of troughing extends eastward through the ohio valley
offering potential for a bit of freezing drizzle across parts of
lake st. clair and western erie early tuesday morning before
changing over to liquid rain midday. dry weather and light winds
return wednesday morning as high pressure briefly spills across
lower michigan. winds pick back up by thursday as a rain
producing warm low lifts into the south while canadian high
pressure builds into james bay.

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...

29.5 inch low pressure is centered over the hudson bay this 
evening, with 30.7 inch high pressure positioned off the coast of
the northeastern united states. placement of the two surface 
features is resulting in generally south to southeasterly breezes 
across the open waters of lake michigan. winds will lighten from 
the second half of the overnight through tuesday morning as a 
small area of 30.1 inch high pressure attempts to develop over 
the western great lakes. an upper disturbance is forecast to cross
southern lake michigan late tonight into tuesday morning, 
bringing chances for light rain or freezing rain to the southern 
half of lake michigan.

light south to southwesterly winds will continue across the northern 
half of lake michigan through wednesday, while winds shift out of 
the east further south in response to developing 29.9 inch low 
pressure in the middle mississippi river valley. said low will 
likely pass just to the south of lake michigan wednesday night 
into thursday, allowing for northeast winds to become established 
across the entirety of the open waters. rain showers will spread 
north across the open waters in response to the 
approaching/passing low wednesday afternoon through thursday. a 
few thunderstorms are possible over southern lake michigan 
wednesday afternoon & evening. severe weather is not anticipated.

29.5 inch low pressure remains forecast to develop in the central
great plains thursday night, and is expected to be somewhere 
between the upper mississippi river valley & northern wisconsin by
friday evening. said low will move near or just north of northern
lake michigan friday night into saturday morning, quickly moving 
into quebec by saturday evening. south to southwest winds will 
thus steadily increase ahead of the developing & approaching low 
friday afternoon into saturday morning, ultimately veering 
westerly saturday afternoon. winds will be gusty at times during 
the friday- saturday time frame, with a few gales possible friday 
night into saturday morning. it remains uncertain if any gales 
would be widespread enough to warrant headlines. widespread rain 
and embedded thunderstorms will accompany the approaching/passing 
low friday through saturday, with strong or severe storms not 
anticipated at this time.
