OPEN LAKE FORECAST for Lake Michigan
National Weather Service Milwaukee/Sullivan WI
259 PM CDT Sat Sep 14 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...

Winds will remain predominantly south to southeasterly through the
duration of the period as 30.3 inch high pressure migrates from
Quebec into the northeastern United States. 29.3 inch low
pressure will develop over the northern Great Plains by the middle
of the week, reinforcing the south-southeasterly flow pattern
across the lake. Brief bouts of east to northeasterly winds are
possible primarily during the afternoon periods as the lake
breezes advance out & away from the open waters. Precip-free
conditions are expected through the majority of the week, with
rain chances potentially returning by next weekend.
