OPEN LAKE FORECAST for Lake Michigan
National Weather Service Milwaukee/Sullivan WI
904 PM CDT Mon Jun 3 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...

A low pressure trough around 29.4 inches will cross the Northern
Plains into Minnesota tonight through Tuesday. Dense fog is
possible over the north half tonight, but there is not enough
confidence to issue a headline at this time. Southerly winds are
expected ahead of the associated cold front. Showers and
thunderstorms are expected through late tonight and again Tuesday
afternoon and evening. The cold front will cross Lake Michigan
early Wednesday morning and the widespread showers and storms will
end. Winds will veer westerly and scattered showers are possible
each afternoon through the weekend. Westerly winds continue
through the end of the week as low pressure over south central
Canada weakens to around 29.4 inches.
