Open Lake Forecast for Lake Superior
National Weather Service Marquette MI
933 AM 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...A weak 30.0 inch high pressure ridge over the Upper
Mississippi Valley will settle over the western Great Lakes today.
As the ridge shifts to Quebec and the Lower Great Lakes during
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.
