Open Lake Forecast for Lake Huron
National Weather Service Detroit/Pontiac MI
359 PM EDT Mon Sep 21 2026

For waters beyond five nautical miles off shore on Lake Huron

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...High pressure, 30.40 inches, lingers over Ontario,
building southeastward early this week. This leads to prolonged
moderate northeast winds over the central Great Lakes with mainly
dry conditions. Sporadic light shower chances exist over Lake St.
Clair and western Erie this evening and/or Tuesday night. A weak
low pressure system should emerge over the northern portion of
the Ohio Valley on Wednesday, and could lead to slightly broader
coverage of showers for the south-central Great Lakes on
Wednesday.
