Open Lake Forecast for Lake Superior
National Weather Service Marquette MI
949 PM EDT Sun Jun 2 2024

For waters beyond 5 nautical miles of shore on Lake Superior.

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...As the weak 30.0 inch ridge over the Upper Great Lakes
shifts east to Quebec and the Lower Great Lakes tonight, a 29.6
inch trough will sweep across the Northern Plains to Minnesota. On
Monday, this trough will dissipate before reaching Lake Superior,
leaving Lake Superior between 30.0 inch ridging over Quebec into
the Lower Great Lakes and a new trough of 29.4 inches emerging
over the western Dakotas. On Tuesday, 29.2 inch low pressure
tracking across the Canadian Prairies will power the trough
eastward to the Upper Mississippi Valley. The trough will then
sail across Lake Superior Tuesday night and Wednesday morning
while the parent low pressure tracks from the Canadian Prairies
toward northern Ontario. On Thursday, the low, weakening to 29.3
inches, will slowly drift southeast across northern Ontario while
a 30.0 inch high pressure ridge builds southeast into the Central
Plains. The ridge looks to overtake much of the Mississippi River
Valley by Friday evening while the low over northern Ontario
weakens to 29.5 inches.
