Open Lake Forecast for Lake Superior
National Weather Service Marquette MI

For waters beyond 5 nautical miles of shore on Lake Superior.

Waves are the significant wave height - the average of the
highest 1/3 of the wave spectrum. Occasional wave height is the
average of the highest 1/10 of the wave spectrum.

.SYNOPSIS...As a weak 29.9 inch high pressure ridge over the Upper
Mississippi Valley settles over the western Great Lakes today, a
29.8 inch low pressure will gradually begin to organize over Iowa
and southern Minnesota. This low will deepen to 29.7 inches as it
tracks east, passing across Wisconsin late tonight and Friday
morning, Lower Michigan on Friday afternoon, then reaching southern
Quebec by Saturday afternoon. In its wake, another weak high
pressure ridge of 29.9 inches will shift east, reaching the western
Great Lakes during Saturday. As the ridge builds to 30.1 inches
while shifting to the Lower Great Lakes on Sunday, a 29.9 inch low
pressure trough will move east to Minnesota. This trough will
dissipate as it moves over Lake Superior on Monday.
