open lake forecast for lake ontario
national weather service buffalo ny
1002 am est thu jan 15 2026

for waters beyond five nautical miles of shore on lake ontario

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 29.2 inch low east of lake ontario this morning will 
move to new england this afternoon. a 29.8 inch high will build 
across the lake friday which will be followed by a 29.7 inch low and 
cold front saturday. this low will move off into quebec sunday while 
weakening to 29.9 inches. meanwhile on sunday a coastal low off the 
carolina coastline of 29.8 inches will deepen to 29.4 inches monday 
as it tracks northeastward, albeit with still great amount of 
uncertainty to its track.
