OPEN LAKE FORECAST for Lake Michigan
National Weather Service Milwaukee/Sullivan WI
313 PM CDT Mon Jun 3 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...

Low pressure of 29.6 inches centered over northern Minnesota will
continue to weaken and light southerly winds will persist. Dense
fog is possible over the north half tonight, but there is not
enough confidence to issue a headline at this time.

A low pressure trough around 29.5 inches will cross the Northern
Plains tonight through Tuesday. Southerly winds are expected ahead
of the associated cold front. Showers and thunderstorms are
expected through late tonight and again Tuesday afternoon and
evening. The cold front will cross Lake Michigan early Wednesday
morning and the widespread showers and storms will end. Winds
will veer westerly and scattered showers are possible each
afternoon through the weekend. Westerly winds continue through
the end of the week as low pressure over south central Canada
weakens to around 29.4 inches.
