Open Lake Forecast for Lake Huron
National Weather Service Detroit/Pontiac MI
355 PM EDT Fri Mar 15 2024

For waters beyond five nautical miles off shore on Lake Huron

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...High pressure, 30.10 inches, is building across the
region today and will hold through tonight before giving way to
the next low pressure system Saturday. This deepening low will
strengthen to around 29.30 inches while passing just north of
Lake Huron and will pull a cold front across the Great Lakes
Saturday evening. The system brings unsettle weather back to the
central Great Lakes and the associated cold front drops
temperatures sharply lower to finish the weekend.
