National Weather Service Milwaukee/Sullivan WI
245 PM CDT Tue May 28 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...

Scattered showers and thunderstorms are expected through the
remainder of this afternoon and the first half of this evening,
particularly over the southern two-thirds of the open waters.
Widespread severe weather is unlikely, though a few storms could
produce small hail and gusty winds. Breezy northerly winds will
prevail on Wednesday, with gusts up to 20 knots possible during
the afternoon hours. 30.2 inch high pressure will linger across
the Great Lakes through late week, resulting in light & variable
winds Thursday through Friday. 29.3 inch low pressure will build
into central Canada this weekend, allowing winds to turn generally
out of the south. Periods of showers and thunderstorms will
return from Friday night through the beginning of next week.
