national weather service milwaukee/sullivan wi
238 pm cdt sun oct 25 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...
low pressure around 29.3 inches shifting east of hudson bay
and high pressure around 30.6 inches tracking from saskatchewan
to the northern great lakes through monday will result in a
slow moving cold front from north to south across lake michigan.
expect modest southerly winds to abruptly become north to
northeasterly with the frontal passage from north to south
overnight into monday morning. breezy north to northeast winds
will continue through monday evening. look for winds to become
southeasterly tuesday as low pressure of 30.0 inches tracks from
southwest minnesota to the duluth area, and become breezy out of
the south on wednesday as the next low of 29.9 inches takes a
similar path. winds will shift to northerly on thursday in the
wake of the associated trough.
