891 FZUS63 KMKX 150147 GLFLM OPEN LAKE FORECAST for Lake Michigan National Weather Service Milwaukee/Sullivan WI 847 PM CDT Sun Jul 14 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... Thunderstorms across south central Wisconsin currently will continue eastward this evening, likely impacting far southern Lake Michigan through 06-07Z. Another area of storms across the Upper Peninsula of Michigan will move southeast across the northern parts of the lake overnight, generally around the same time frame. Some storms may be strong to severe, especially over the southern part of the lake. Gusty winds and heavy rain are the main threats, although large hail cannot be ruled out. After storms have passed, west to southwest winds will prevail across the lake. On Monday, a cold front associated with low pressure of 29.5 inches moving eastward across Ontario will sink southeastward, bringing another round of storms to the lake Monday night into Tuesday morning, some of which may be strong to severe. Breezy southerly winds will precede the front on Monday, shifting northwesterly on Tuesday behind the front. High pressure of 30.0 inches then sinks south into the Great Lakes region Tuesday evening and overnight allowing for quieter weather and calmer winds for the later half of the week.
