open lake forecast for lake michigan
national weather service milwaukee/sullivan wi
856 am cdt mon apr 27 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...

low pressure of 29.5 inches over western iowa will move northeast
over lake superior by late tonight while deepening to 29.2 
inches. southeasterly winds will increase throughout today to gust
around 30 kt throughout the afternoon and early overnight hours. 
although the cooler lake temps should dampen the threat for 
widespread gales across the lake, thunderstorms during the 
afternoon and evening may produce multiple periods of gale force 
gusts in the southern half. trends will be monitored into the 
afternoon regarding the wind threat within the storms and 
regarding potential for gales outside of these storms. a cold
front passage will shift winds to the west early tuesday morning,
and remain gusty through tuesday afternoon.

high pressure around 30.1 inches will set up over the upper
midwest and upper great lakes tuesday through friday, producing
light and variable winds.
