open lake forecast for lake michigan
national weather service milwaukee/sullivan wi
242 pm cst wed jan 28 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...
modest to brisk west-northwest winds will prevail over lake
michigan at least into thursday as weak low pressure around 30.0
inches remains over the eastern great lakes and high pressure
around 30.5 inches extends from the northern great plains into the
lower missouri river valley. high pressure will strengthen into
friday as weak low pressure progresses through the middle
mississippi valley, turning winds briefly northerly to even
northeasterly. during this time, a snow band will develop in
central portions of the lake, with westerly winds to the west and
northeasterly winds to the east. winds shift back to north-
northwesterly and increase friday night as low pressure deepens in
the atlantic. moderate to heavy freezing spray will likely
develop once again. a second brief period of northeast winds is
possible saturday morning as high pressure slides southward into
the u.s. southeast and low pressure in the atlantic deepens. winds
become light and variable saturday night into sunday as high
pressure finally dominates the pattern.
