open lake forecast for lake huron
national weather service detroit/pontiac mi
954 pm edt mon may 4 2026

for waters beyond five nautical miles off shore on lake huron

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...north flow turns lighter and more variable tomorrow
afternoon in the wake of a cold front. another low pressure system
organizes well south of the area through wednesday, favoring the 
gradual development of northeast winds. as this low moves over the
northeast mid to late week, northeast winds will back from the 
northeast to northerly, and eventually take on a more westerly 
component by thursday.
