Open Lake Forecast for Lake Superior
National Weather Service Marquette MI
333 AM EDT Sat Jun 15 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...A 30.1 high pressure centered over Lake Superior will
build to 30.2 inches as it shifts over the central Great Lakes
today, 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.
