Open Lake Forecast for Lake Superior
National Weather Service Marquette MI
338 PM EDT Fri Jun 14 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...Ridging of 30.1 inches over Lake Superior continues
building to 30.2 inches as it shifts over the central Great Lakes
Saturday, continuing on toward New England Sunday. Deepening low
pressure near 29.4 inches tracks out of the High Plains Saturday
night, spinning northeast towards Hudson Bay Sunday into Monday as
it deepens to 29.0 inches. This low extends a 29.6 inch trough over
Lake Superior Sunday night before weak ridging of 29.9 inches moves
over Lake Superior from the Northern Plains Monday. A low pressure
around 29.5 inches looks to move off the Colorado Rockies into the
Northern Plains early next week. The low will track across
northern Minnesota at 29.5 inches by Tuesday night and continue
northeast across northern Ontario into Wednesday morning. This low
will support a 29.9 inch trough over Lake Superior through
Wednesday morning.
