open lake forecast for lake michigan
national weather service milwaukee/sullivan wi
844 pm cdt mon apr 27 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 will gradually move northeast
across lake superior overnight. gusty south to southeast winds 
will become southwest overnight and west on tuesday, as a cold 
front moves through.

scattered thunderstorms will also move east across portions of 
the lake into the overnight hours, which may bring some gusty 
winds. some fog may occur as well, until the gusty southwest to 
west winds develop overnight into tuesday.

high pressure around 30.1 inches will set up over the upper 
midwest wednesday through friday. this should bring gradually
lighter winds to lake michigan.
