for waters beyond five nautical miles of shore on lake michigan.
waves are provided as a range of significant wave heights, which

average height of the highest 10% of the waves which will

.synopsis...
light winds will dominate throughout the morning, with a line of
severe thunderstorms expected to cross the southern third around
midday today. main hazards with these storms will be strong gusty
winds, but an isolated waterspout cannot be ruled out.
light winds are expected to then continue throughout the week,
with periodic shower and thunderstorm chances for southern
portions of the lake as weak areas of low pressure follow along
a stalled front over the lake. this front finally begins to sag
southward through friday, allowing high pressure around 30.2
inches to build down across the upper great lakes. as the high
pressure pushes east this weekend, expect low pressure to develop
over the plains and track across the great lakes, bringing
increasing southerly winds.

light southeasterly to southerly winds will continue over the
southern half of lake michigan today, while light and variable
winds will continue over the northern half. some marine dense fog
has formed early this morning along the wisconsin shoreline of
the lake, and this fog should continue into the mid- morning
before storms roll across the lake. light and variable winds will
then be prevalent over the whole lake tonight.
this weather pattern will continue through midweek with periodic
shower and thunderstorm chances for southern portions of the lake
as small areas of low pressure follow along the stalled front. the
front finally begins to sag southward through the end of the week
allowing high pressure around 30.2 inches to build down across
the upper great lakes through friday. then as the high pressure
pushes east expect low pressure to develop over the plains and
track across the great lakes through the weekend bringing
increasing southerly winds.

waves are the significant wave height - the average of the

.synopsis...
this morning, lake superior remains under weak 29.9 inch ridging
broadly associated with 30.1 inch high pressure over the southern
appalachians while 29.6 inch low pressure is over labrador and 29.8
inch low pressure is over the central plains. by tonight, the
labrador low descends to the gulf of st lawrence and deepens to 29.5
inches while the plains low deepens to 29.7 inches, eroding the
ridge over lake superior to 29.8 inches. this pattern holds until
thursday morning, when a 30.2 inch high over the canadian rockies
begins to extend stronger ridging over lake superior before
eventually becoming centered over the lake at 30.2 inches friday
afternoon. a 29.9 inch trough then moves over the western end of the
lake saturday afternoon as the 30.2 inch high moves over the eastern
great lakes. this trough consolidates to a 29.8 inch low as it
passes over lake superior, reaching ontario by sunday afternoon,
with 30.1 inch ridging to follow.

appalachians while 29.6 inch low pressure is over labrador and 29.8
inch low pressure is over the central plains. by tonight, the
labrador low descends to the gulf of st lawrence and deepens to 29.5
inches while the plains low deepens to 29.7 inches, eroding the
ridge over lake superior to 29.8 inches. this pattern holds until
thursday morning, when a 30.2 inch high over the canadian rockies
begins to extend stronger ridging over lake superior before
eventually becoming centered over the lake at 30.2 inches friday
afternoon. a 29.9 inch trough then moves over the western end of the
lake saturday afternoon as the 30.2 inch high moves over the eastern
great lakes. this trough consolidates to a 29.8 inch low as it
passes over lake superior, reaching ontario by sunday afternoon,
with 30.1 inch ridging to follow.
