OPEN LAKE FORECAST for Lake Michigan
National Weather Service Milwaukee/Sullivan WI
843 AM CST Sat Nov 29 2025

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...

Winds will increase from the southeast this morning as low
pressure around 29.8 inches tracks across KS to the south tip of
Lake Michigan into tonight. There will be a brief six hour window
of south to southeasterly gales late this afternoon and early
evening for the southern third of the lake. Winds will weaken
below gales as the low pressure passes the southern tip of Lake
Michigan overnight Saturday. Stronger northwesterly winds will
then develop Sunday into Sunday evening and may reach gale force
as the strengthening low pressure area moves away. Thus a Gale
Watch is in effect for Sunday and Sunday evening for the entire
open lake. High pressure will then build in later Sunday into the
start of next week with light winds.
