OPEN LAKE FORECAST for Lake Michigan
National Weather Service Milwaukee/Sullivan WI
222 PM CST Mon Nov 23 2020

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

Brief ridging of 30.4 inches will shift eastward from the western
Great Lakes to the eastern Great Lakes tonight.

On Tuesday, low pressure will slowly begin to lift northeast
towards the Midwest, from the central Plains. This will enhance
the surface pressure gradient Tuesday into Wednesday, bringing a
period of gusty southeast to south winds. As the low pressure
system lifts northeast across southern Lake Michigan on Wednesday,
it is expected to weaken to 29.7 inches. By Thursday, the low
weakens further over Lake Huron and a cold front extending well
south from low pressure up near the Hudson Bay moves over the lake
Thursday night into Friday.
