open lake forecast for lake michigan
national weather service milwaukee/sullivan wi
853 am cst fri jan 23 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...

northwest gales in the southern two-thirds of the open waters will
slowly diminish as 31.0 inch high pressure builds into the 
northern great plains and minnesota this morning. as high
pressure builds through the mississippi valley and the western 
great lakes tonight into saturday, expect winds to become light 
and variable. heavy freezing spray warnings remain in effect for 
all open waters through late tonight due to continued high waves 
and a frigid airmass. 

high pressure will linger from the lower peninsula of michigan into 
quebec saturday night into sunday. weak low pressure near 30.6
inches may develop over the southern third of the waters saturday
morning and afternoon, but winds will remain light and variable. 

low pressure of 29.7 inches will develop over the southeast u.s.  
sunday, progressing to the northeast as it deepens to near 29.2 
inches sunday night through monday. with 30.7 inch high pressure
lingering across the region, expect increasing north northeast
winds sunday through monday. winds will slowly back to westerly 
sunday night through monday afternoon. low pressure of 29.8 inch
in the eastern great lakes monday night, bringing stronger 
southwest winds monday evening into early tuesday morning. a few 
southwesterly gales may occur over the southern third of the open 
waters. trends will be monitored in coming forecasts.

winds will gradually trend downward tuesday through wednesday as 
high pressure moves into the northern great plains. elevated wave 
heights will combine with still chilly temperatures to support 
additional periods of moderate to perhaps heavy freezing spray 
monday night into thursday. trends will be monitored for potential
headlines in coming forecasts.
