national weather service detroit/pontiac mi
939 am est tue nov 18 2025

for waters beyond five nautical miles off shore on lake huron

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...low pressure, 29.90 inches, will track across the ohio
valley today while high pressure of 30.20 inches holds across the
northern great lakes. this high will sustain dry conditions and
light winds across lake huron. the high will expand south across
lower michigan on wednesday and drift east of the region by
thursday. deepening low pressure over northern ontario thursday
will drive a weak cold front across the region thursday night.

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...

29.8 inch low pressure is positioned over northern missouri this 
morning, resulting in breezy east winds across the southern half 
of lake michigan. winds are lighter further north, where higher 
surface pressure is in place. winds will gradually taper across 
all of the lake michigan late tonight through wednesday as 30.2
inch high pressure builds across the western great lakes. 29.6
inch low pressure will develop along the ontario-manitoba border 
wednesday night, deepening to near 29.5 inches over the hudson 
bay by thursday afternoon. the low's development and progression 
will result in a southwest wind shift across lake michigan, with 
winds becoming gusty late thursday morning and afternoon. highest 
gusts are expected over the northern third of the waters, where 
20-25 kt readings are currently forecast. gales aren't expected, 
though trends will continue to be monitored. a cold front will 
cross the waters thursday night, resulting in northwest winds 
friday into saturday morning. rain showers will continue into this
afternoon over the southern half of lake michigan. a few wet 
snowflakes could mix in over the middle portion of the lake. 
additional rain is possible thursday, particularly over the 
northern third of the waters.
