OPEN LAKE FORECAST for Lake Michigan
National Weather Service Milwaukee/Sullivan WI
244 AM CDT Sun Jun 9 2024

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...

Breezy westerly winds today will veer to the north through the day
as a trough moves through the area. These winds will be due to a
tighter pressure gradient between high pressure of 30.3 inches
centered just north of the Northern Plains and low pressure of
29.3 inches centered just east of James Bay in Canada. Northerly
winds will remain breezy on Monday between these two systems, as
they slowly shift eastward. Lighter winds are likely Monday night
into Tuesday as the high moves through the area, with southerly
winds picking up later Tuesday into Wednesday on the back side of
the departing high.
