206 am cst tue dec 2 2025

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...

a strong cold front along a low pressure trough averaging 29.8 
inches will cross lake michigan wednesday. gusty southwest winds
are expected ahead of this front early wednesday morning, with
gusty northwest winds behind it wednesday afternoon and night. 
winds will remain just below gales for most the lake, though a
brief period of low end gales is possible wednesday night over the
far northern part of the lake. very cold air with this system 
will result in a risk for freezing spray wednesday night and 
thursday.

light winds are expected thursday with the influence of high 
pressure of 30.4 inches over illinois and indiana. another period
of elevated southwest winds will occur thursday night into friday
as another low pressure trough around 29.8 inches crosses the 
upper great lakes.

open lake forecast for lake michigan
national weather service milwaukee/sullivan wi
206 am cst tue dec 2 2025

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...

a strong cold front along a low pressure trough averaging 29.8 
inches will cross lake michigan wednesday. gusty southwest winds
are expected ahead of this front early wednesday morning, with
gusty northwest winds behind it wednesday afternoon and night. 
winds will remain just below gales for most the lake, though a
brief period of low end gales is possible wednesday night over the
far northern part of the lake. very cold air with this system 
will result in a risk for freezing spray wednesday night and 
thursday.

light winds are expected thursday with the influence of high 
pressure of 30.4 inches over illinois and indiana. another period
of elevated southwest winds will occur thursday night into friday
as another low pressure trough around 29.8 inches crosses the 
upper great lakes.
