230 FZUS63 KMKX 090744 GLFLM 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.
