908 pm cdt thu may 7 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...

weak high pressure of 30.0 inches slides further away across the
southeastern conus overnight. meanwhile, broad low pressure 
around 29.5 inches lingers over hudson bay. light southwest winds
expected over lake michigan overnight, turning due south and 
accelerating through friday. a cold front extending southwest of 
the low will sweep across the lake saturday, with breezy southwest
winds ahead of it and northwest winds arriving behind it. 

high pressure around 30.3 inches tracks southeastward across
manitoba canada sunday, then the great lakes region on monday.
relatively light and variable winds are expected through this
period.
