OPEN LAKE FORECAST for Lake Michigan
National Weather Service Milwaukee/Sullivan WI
837 AM CDT Sat Jun 1 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 of 30.3 inches over the Mid Atlantic will retreat
further east today. A weak surface low of 29.9 inches will then
pass to the south of the area, bringing rain showers to at least
the southern half of the lake. Winds will likely shift to the east
and then north as the low moves through the region, especially
across the southern half of the lake. Light and variable winds are
likely tonight through Sunday as high pressure of 30.0 inches
briefly moves through the area. Areas of fog are possible tonight,
with trends being monitored for any dense fog potential. Winds
will return to southerly early next week and also increase a bit
ahead of the next approaching low pressure system. A chance for
showers and storms will return to Lake Michigan during this period
as well.
