open lake forecast for lake huron
national weather service detroit/pontiac mi
910 am est wed nov 26 2025

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...low pressure, 29.30 inches, will hold over eastern
upper michigan and the straits region today. cold air and a
strong compact wind field associated with this low will support
gales and expanding snow shower activity across the region. the
low will exit to the northeast of georgian bay tonight into
thursday. strong winds and cold air circulating around the system
will sustain gales and snow showers through thursday. high
pressure, 30.40 inches, will expand across the western and
southern great lakes region friday and friday night. lingering
surface troughing over lake huron will however sustain some
degree of gusty winds and snow showers. deepening low pressure is
forecast to lift across the region from the southwest saturday
night and sunday, bringing widespread snow with a chance for
gusty winds in the wake of the system sunday night.
