national weather service marquette mi
1000 am est fri mar 6 2026

for waters beyond 5 nautical miles of shore on lake superior.

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...

lake superior is currently between a 30.7 inch high over eastern 
quebec and a 29.6 inch low over western kansas. this low will 
elongate across the mississippi river valley today, then stretch 
over lake superior at 29.7 inches tonight. the low then deepens to 
29.4 inches near the ontario/quebec line late saturday morning. a 
weak 29.8 inch ridge will move over the lake saturday evening as the 
low departs into newfoundland. this ridge is kicked east by a 29.1 
inch low that transits northern ontario sunday, reaching northwest 
quebec sunday night into monday as a secondary 29.0 inch low trails 
behind near the northern shores of lake superior. the low slowly 
exits the area monday before being replaced by a 30.3 inch high over 
northern ontario tuesday. the high slowly moves into quebec 
wednesday as low pressure moves into the lower midwest.
