National Weather Service Cleveland OH
933 AM EDT Wed Oct 8 2025

For waters beyond five nautical miles of shore on Lake Erie

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...
A ridge averaging 30.50 inches affects Lake Erie through this
Thursday as the embedded high pressure center moves from northern
Wisconsin to central New York. As the high pressure center drifts
farther eastward Thursday night, a warm front will sweep northward
across Lake Erie. Behind the front, a ridge averaging 30.40
inches should build from the southern Appalachians through
Friday. During Friday night into Saturday, a very weak cold front
should sweep eastward across Lake Erie. However, a low of 30.10
inches may form along the front and move generally northward
across Lake Erie and vicinity during the same time period. Behind
the front, another ridge averaging 30.20 inches should build from
the western Great Lakes through this Monday.
