OPEN LAKE FORECAST for Lake Michigan
National Weather Service Milwaukee/Sullivan WI
254 AM CDT Sun May 26 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 29.9 inches over Lower Michigan will move east
into New England today, while low pressure of 29.4 inches lifts
from Kansas into western Illinois by this afternoon, and then to
southern Lake Michigan by late tonight. This will result in
increasing southeast to east winds across the lake for today,
with showers and thunderstorms likely at times today, largely for
the southern portion of the lake.

That low will then progress northeastward to Lake Huron by Monday
afternoon, with winds quickly turning northwesterly as the low
departs. West to northwest flow will persist into mid week, with
winds gradually weakening over time as high pressure eventually
builds into the region.
