open lake forecast for lake michigan
national weather service milwaukee/sullivan wi
259 am cdt sun may 3 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...

southerly winds will increase this morning, as low pressure 
around 29.7 inches approaches the lake. the low pressure system 
will drag a cold front southeast over the region later this 
morning into late this afternoon. southwest to south winds may 
approach gale force at times over the southern half but with the 
cooler lake conditions winds should largely stay below gale force.
winds will become westerly for a brief period behind the front
later tonight, before returning to southwesterly and becoming 
breezy again on monday ahead of another stronger low around 29.2 
inches and another cold front. light and more variable winds
should be expected to return to the region through at least the
middle of the week given weak high pressure over the region.

open lake forecast for lake superior
national weather service marquette mi
401 am edt sun may 3 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 29.6 inch trough moves over lake superior this morning as a low 
over central minnesota lifts into northern ontario. a deepening 29.3 
inch low digs over the canadian prairies tonight and then deepens to 
29.0 inches over northern ontario on monday; bringing 29.2 inch 
troughing over northern lake superior monday morning. the low lifts 
into james bay by monday evening as 30.1 inch ridging builds just to 
the east of the canadian rockies. as the high pressure ridging 
shifts to the canadian prairies tuesday and wednesday, the now 29.2 
inch low continues lifting into far northern quebec. we can thus 
expect ridging to slowly build back over lake superior to around 
29.9 to 30.0 inches by the middle of next week as the ridging 
spreads into the rest of the central conus. the ridging over lake 
superior does look to weaken to around 29.8 to 29.9 inches by 
thursday night and friday as the upper great lakes become sandwiched 
between a low just off of the new england coast and troughing on the 
lee of the rockies.

open lake forecast for lake superior
national weather service marquette mi
401 am edt sun may 3 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 29.6 inch trough moves over lake superior this morning as a low 
over central minnesota lifts into northern ontario. a deepening 29.3 
inch low digs over the canadian prairies tonight and then deepens to 
29.0 inches over northern ontario on monday; bringing 29.2 inch 
troughing over northern lake superior monday morning. the low lifts 
into james bay by monday evening as 30.1 inch ridging builds just to 
the east of the canadian rockies. as the high pressure ridging 
shifts to the canadian prairies tuesday and wednesday, the now 29.2 
inch low continues lifting into far northern quebec. we can thus 
expect ridging to slowly build back over lake superior to around 
29.9 to 30.0 inches by the middle of next week as the ridging 
spreads into the rest of the central conus. the ridging over lake 
superior does look to weaken to around 29.8 to 29.9 inches by 
thursday night and friday as the upper great lakes become sandwiched 
between a low just off of the new england coast and troughing on the 
lee of the rockies.
