OPEN LAKE FORECAST for Lake Michigan
National Weather Service Milwaukee/Sullivan WI
902 AM CDT Mon Oct 26 2026

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 30.6 inches tracking from Manitoba to the
northern Great Lakes through tonight will support modest to breezy
north to northeast winds. Look for winds to become southeasterly
Tuesday, as low pressure around 30.0 inches tracks from southwest
Minnesota to the Lake Superior region. Modest south winds are
expected for Wednesday, as the next low pressure system around
29.9 inches takes a similar path across the Midwest. Expect
northerly winds for the end of the week, behind the low pressure
systems.
