917 pm cdt tue may 19 2026

for waters beyond five nautical miles of shore on lake michigan.

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

.synopsis...

lingering gusty winds this evening, but will gradually diminish 
overnight as high pressure around 30.4 inches builds into the 
upper great lakes region wednesday and thursday. still looking at
gusty northeast winds through midweek, especially over the
southern half of the lake and building waves along the western 
lakeshore. high pressure continues to build to around 30.5 inches
as it lifts northeastward across ontario and quebec friday 
through the weekend with easterly winds persisting across lake 
michigan. expecting winds to increase during this timeframe as 
well with a broad low pressure trough around 29.8 inches setting 
up over the plains.
