open lake forecast for lake michigan
national weather service milwaukee/sullivan wi
840 am cdt fri oct 9 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...
high pressure around 30.1 inches will exit into this afternoon,
allowing for winds to become southeasterly. winds shift to
southerly tonight as the high moves to the east and low pressure
around 29.2 inches develops the northern plains. a tight pressure
gradient over lake michigan will produce southerly winds gusting up
to 30 knots from tonight through sunday morning. a few gale force
gusts may occur in the northern half of the lake saturday
afternoon and evening. gale warnings are not expected at this
time.
lighter winds are expected by monday, as a weak low pressure
trough around 29.7 inches slowly moves from minnesota to
wisconsin. look for gusty northwest to north winds to develop
monday night into tuesday after the passage of a cold front, as
high pressure around 30.1 inches builds into the upper midwest.

waves are the significant wave height - the average of the

.synopsis...
a 30.2 inch surface high has built over the ohio river valley this
morning, resulting in 30.1 inch ridging over lake superior. this
ridge is separating a pair of 29.4 inch lows, one over southern
alberta and one off the labrador coast. throughout the day and into
saturday morning, the high will build to 30.4 inches over new york
as the alberta low moves to southern saskatchewan and the north
plains. meanwhile, 29.7 inch hurricane isaias will move up the
alabama/mississippi state line, eventually helping to kick the high
east as it weakens. by early sunday morning, the canada low will
split into 2 weaker 29.6 inch lows, one settling over the central
plains and one moving from northern minnesota to northern ontario.
this will create weak 29.8 inch troughing over lake superior for
sunday, deepening to 29.7 inches by monday evening. meanwhile, the
high will shift to the new england coastline then over the atlantic,
ushered east by the tropical remnants at 29.9 inches as they move
into the ohio river valley. the colorado low crosses the great lakes
basin early next week, followed by 30.2 inch high pressure for the
midweek.

open lake forecast for lake superior
national weather service marquette mi
1001 am edt fri oct 9 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...
a 30.2 inch surface high has built over the ohio river valley this
morning, resulting in 30.1 inch ridging over lake superior. this
ridge is separating a pair of 29.4 inch lows, one over southern
alberta and one off the labrador coast. throughout the day and into
saturday morning, the high will build to 30.4 inches over new york
as the alberta low moves to southern saskatchewan and the north
plains. meanwhile, 29.7 inch hurricane isaias will move up the
alabama/mississippi state line, eventually helping to kick the high
east as it weakens. by early sunday morning, the canada low will
split into 2 weaker 29.6 inch lows, one settling over the central
plains and one moving from northern minnesota to northern ontario.
this will create weak 29.8 inch troughing over lake superior for
sunday, deepening to 29.7 inches by monday evening. meanwhile, the
high will shift to the new england coastline then over the atlantic,
ushered east by the tropical remnants at 29.9 inches as they move
into the ohio river valley. the colorado low crosses the great lakes
basin early next week, followed by 30.2 inch high pressure for the
midweek.
