open lake forecast for lake huron
national weather service detroit/pontiac mi
353 am est thu jan 15 2026

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...strong cold advection has led to gale force gusts,
heavy freezing spray, and snow squalls overnight. the lingering
trough will hold across the eastern great lakes today while high
pressure, 30.10 inches, expands across lake superior. another low
pressure system is forecast to track across the northern great
lakes on friday, bringing more gusty winds and snow showers into
this weekend.
