OPEN LAKE FORECAST for Lake Michigan
National Weather Service Milwaukee/Sullivan WI
257 PM CDT Mon Jul 15 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...

Showers and thunderstorms will cross the lake this evening as a
cold front moves across Wisconsin. The primary area of storms will
be focused across the southern half of the lake and may be strong
to severe with gusty winds and heavy rain being the primary
threats, but large hail is also a concern. Storms are also
expected across the northern half of the lake with strong storms
still possible, but are expected to be less of a threat as
compared to those across the southern half of the lake. Winds will
be from the south this afternoon and overnight ahead of the cold
front and will turn to a northwesterly direction overnight into
Tuesday behind the cold front.

High pressure of 30.1 inches will sink south into the Great Lakes
region on Tuesday and Wednesday bringing quieter weather to the
region through the rest of the week. Winds will be from the north
to northwest with gusts generally 15-20 knots across the lake on
Wednesday, but some stronger gusts of 20-25 knots are possible
across the northern third of Lake Michigan. Winds will become
lighter and more variable on Friday as the high pressure moves
eastward over the lake.
