national weather service milwaukee/sullivan wi
912 pm cdt fri aug 28 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...
high pressure around 30.1 inches will gradually move east of the
lower great lakes on saturday, while low pressure deepens to
around 29.6 inches in the central great plains. this will support
modest to breezy southerly winds from saturday afternoon through
monday as the low will remain well to the west. scattered
thunderstorms will occur at times from saturday night into next
week. a weak cold front will finally arrive late tuesday night and
wednesday with light northerly winds eventually taking hold.
