national weather service marquette mi
1001 am edt tue jul 21 2026

for waters beyond 5 nautical miles of shore on lake superior.

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... 

as a 29.2 inch low over far northern ontario this morning moves into 
northern quebec later today, troughing from the low over lake 
superior is replaced by ridging descending from a 30.1 inch high 
moving in from the canadian prairies into the midwest today into 
wednesday. the ridging over lake superior becomes maximized at 30.1 
inches over the western lake on wednesday before the high flattens 
and moves east towards new england thursday into friday morning. 
while ridging of around 30.0 inches looks to remain over lake 
superior on thursday, a weak 29.9 to 30.0 inch low could move over 
the northwestern half of the lake by thursday night into friday 
morning. as a low around 29.3 inches lifts from far northern ontario 
into hudson bay friday night into saturday morning, expect troughing 
of around 29.8 inches to move into lake superior in response by 
saturday morning. troughing of at least 29.8 inches looks to remain 
over the lake for the rest of the day.
