OPEN LAKE FORECAST for Lake Michigan
National Weather Service Milwaukee/Sullivan WI
854 AM CDT Thu Aug 11 2022
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
High pressure around 30.3 inches over southwest Ontario will
slowly sink south over the Great Lakes this afternoon through
Friday. Breezy north to northeast winds are expected into tonight.
Low pressure around 29.8 inches over Minnesota and Iowa should
then move east across the southern Great Lakes region this
weekend. There is some uncertainty in where the surface low will
track, and how strong it may be, so there is some uncertainty in
how strong southerly winds will get ahead of the surface low on
Saturday.
