240 pm 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...

gusty southwest winds will become northwest to north and weaken 
this evening, with low pressure around 29.9 inches moving across 
northern lake huron. winds will then become east tuesday morning 
and increase during the afternoon, ahead of the next approaching 
low pressure system.

east to southeast winds will increase later tuesday into tuesday 
night, as strong low pressure around 29.2 inches moves toward the 
region. easterly gales are possible later tuesday night into 
wednesday afternoon over the northern third of the lake, where a 
gale watch is in effect. the warmer airmass over the chilly lake 
waters may limit the mixing down of higher gusts elsewhere across 
the lake.

after somewhat lighter winds later wednesday into thursday, winds
will likely increase thursday night into friday night, as another
strong low pressure system around 29.2 inches moves through the 
region.

south winds this morning will become southwest this afternoon and

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.
