OPEN LAKE FORECAST for Lake Michigan
National Weather Service Milwaukee/Sullivan WI
257 PM CDT Fri Jun 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...

Breezy northerly winds over most of the lake will gradually
turn to the southeast and weaken overnight as high pressure of
30.3 inches slides to the east of the region. Modest
southeasterly winds will then persist through Saturday into
Saturday night. Winds will then turn southerly and gusty on Sunday
as a tighter pressure gradient moves over the Upper Great Lakes
as a result of a low pressure system of 29.5 inches off to the
west. Otherwise modest southerly winds will likely dominate the
region through at least midweek with low pressure off to the west.
