OPEN LAKE FORECAST for Lake Michigan
National Weather Service Milwaukee/Sullivan WI
237 PM CDT Sat Jun 22 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...

Southerly winds across the lake will turn northwesterly this
evening into Sunday morning as low pressure of 29.7 inches moves
eastward across Wisconsin and subsequently Lake Michigan. Gusts of
20KT to 25KT are expected this evening into Sunday morning, mainly
across southeastern Lake Michigan, before diminishing on Sunday.
Showers and thunderstorms are possible across the lake this
evening along surface frontal boundaries associated with the low
pressure, but are expected to largely end Sunday morning with a
few additional showers and storms possible across the northern
half of the lake behind the low pressure Sunday afternoon. High
pressure around 29.9 inches will then build into the Great Lakes
region Sunday afternoon into Monday allowing for light
northwesterly winds across the lake for the beginning of next
week.
