Lake St Clair Forecast
National Weather Service Detroit/Pontiac MI
1001 PM EDT Fri Mar 27 2026

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 influence leads to weaker winds this
evening. A weak cold front brings widely scattered snow showers
to the central Great Lakes overnight, offering a reinforcing shot
of blustery conditions through Saturday morning. Winds and waves
then remain in-check with dry and warmer weather Sunday and
Monday. An extended window for showers and thunderstorms exists
late Monday through Tuesday. Winds and waves trend higher Tuesday
with the arrival of a low pressure system.
