open lake forecast for lake huron
national weather service detroit/pontiac mi
327 pm est mon dec 22 2025

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...low pressure, 29.80 inches, will travel from west to 
east across lake superior late tonight through tomorrow morning. 
passage of this system will veer wind direction to the northwest 
and will increase wind speeds across the northern half of lake 
huron, bringing increasing potential to see gust to gales. high 
pressure, 30.40 inches, then quickly fills in across the great 
lakes early wednesday morning.
