OPEN LAKE FORECAST for Lake Michigan
National Weather Service Milwaukee/Sullivan WI
249 AM CDT Fri Jun 28 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...

High pressure around 30.0 inches continues to drift east
tonight. Expect southwesterly winds to gradually increase and
turn more southerly through this morning as low pressure around
29.3 inches develops across the Central Plains and lifts into the
Upper Midwest through this evening. Will see increased potential
for showers and thunderstorm across Lake Michigan through tonight.
This low will gradually slide east-northeast into Ontario
overnight into Saturday and will drag a cold front across the
Lake for the start of the weekend. Behind the front expect winds
to turn more northerly through Saturday afternoon and evening.
Then high pressure begins to build across the Upper Great Lakes
for Sunday bringing weaken winds into the start of next week
before another storm system develops and brings stronger winds
for Lake Michigan for mid-next week.
