OPEN LAKE FORECAST for Lake Michigan
National Weather Service Milwaukee/Sullivan WI
236 PM CDT Tue Sep 17 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 around 30.2 inches over the Northeast and low
pressure around 29.3 inches the northern High Plains will keep
winds light through Wednesday. High pressure will gradually
weaken and drift eastward on Thursday, with the low
strengthening to 29.2 inches. This will produce south-southeast
winds Thursday into Friday. In addition, a weak front will push
southeastward across the open waters Thursday night into Friday,
bringing showers and isolated thunderstorms. Low pressure will
slowly shift eastward toward the Great Lakes region this
weekend, with winds remaining generally southeasterly. As low
pressure approaches, additional showers and thunderstorm chances
develop, especially across the southern half of the Lake.
