open lake forecast for lake michigan
national weather service milwaukee/sullivan wi
903 am cst mon feb 16 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...

south winds this morning will become southwest this afternoon and
strengthen, with low pressure around 29.8 inches moving across
northern lake michigan. winds will shift to northwest to north
tonight and weaken, after a frontal boundary moves through. winds
will then become east tuesday morning, ahead of the next 
approaching low pressure system.

east to southeast winds will increase later tuesday into tuesday 
night, as strong low pressure around 29.1 inches moves toward the
region. winds to around 30 knots are possible. a few gales are 
possible tuesday night into wednesday, depending on the strength 
of the low, though the warmer airmass over the chilly lake waters 
will limit mixing down of higher gusts most places. the best 
chance for any gales will be across northern portions of the lake.
after somewhat lighter winds later wednesday into thursday, winds
will likely increase thursday night into friday, as another strong
low pressure system around 29.2 inches moves through the region.
