OPEN LAKE FORECAST for Lake Michigan
National Weather Service Milwaukee/Sullivan WI
310 AM CDT Sun Jun 30 2024

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...

Gusty north to northwest winds are expected today. Winds will
weaken tonight into Monday and become predominately easterly as
high pressure around 30.3 inches builds in from the Northern
Plains. High pressure will advect east of the Lake Monday night,
causing winds to become southeasterly and increase. South to
southeast will linger into Tuesday night, before a cold front
moves east across the region.
