Open Lake Forecast for Lake Erie
National Weather Service Cleveland OH
354 AM EDT Tue May 7 2024

For waters beyond five nautical miles of shore on Lake Erie

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...
A ridge averaging 30.10 inches exits northeastward from Lake Erie
today as a warm front approaches the lake from the southwest. This
warm front then sweeps northeastward across Lake Erie tonight.
Low pressure of 29.50 inches moves eastward across the central
Great Lakes and toward northern New York state on Wednesday,
allowing the trailing cold front to sweep eastward across Lake
Erie. Behind the front, a ridge averaging 30.00 inches should
attempt to build from northern Ontario and vicinity through
Wednesday night as a separate frontal low of 29.50 inches moves
from near central Illinois toward central Indiana. This frontal
low should wobble east-northeastward from central Indiana toward
the Gulf of Maine on Thursday through Friday and allow a trough
averaging 29.70 inches to become established over and near Lake
Erie. A ridge averaging 30.00 inches should build eastward across
Lake Erie Friday night before another trough averaging 29.70
inches arrives from the western Great Lakes on Saturday.
