OPEN LAKE FORECAST for Lake Michigan
National Weather Service Milwaukee/Sullivan WI
237 PM CDT Fri May 31 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...

High pressure of 30.3 inches over the eastern Ohio River Valley this
afternoon will continue to head eastward this evening into tonight.
Light southerly winds will prevail between the departing high and an
approaching trough of low pressure. A weak surface low of 29.9
inches will then pass to the south of the area Saturday, bringing
rain showers to at least the southern half of the lake. Winds will
likely shift to the east and then north as the low moves through
the region, especially across the southern half of the lake.
Light and variable winds are likely Sunday as high pressure of
30.0 inches briefly moves through the area. Winds will return to
southerly early next week and also increase a bit ahead of the
next approaching low pressure system. A chance for showers and
storms will return to Lake Michigan during this period as well.
