813 FZUS63 KDTX 040131 GLFLH Open Lake Forecast for Lake Huron National Weather Service Detroit/Pontiac MI Issued by National Weather Service Gaylord MI 931 PM EDT Tue Jun 3 2025 For waters beyond five nautical miles off shore on Lake Huron 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...Broad area of high pressure, 30.21 inches, has nestled into place on the Mid Atlantic coast. Meanwhile, 29.65 inch low pressure is moving northeast through Wisconsin into the Straits of Mackinac and St. Mary`s River valley, with an attendant cold frontal boundary stretching all the way south and west to Texas. This area of lower pressure will lead to continuity of an already pinched pressure gradient, and thus, keeping SW flow elevated all the way through Wednesday into Wednesday evening as the aforementioned cold front slowly advances south and east through the Great Lakes. Showers generally over Lake Michigan and Lake Superior will continue their south and eastward advance into tonight, with shower coverage increasing from NW to SE through the night, reaching Saginaw Bay by morning. Showers and (eventually) thunderstorms will build through the day Wednesday, especially in the afternoon and evening, with the best chances for stronger to severe storms favoring Saginaw Bay and points south. The front clears late Wednesday evening before stalling over northern Ohio on Thursday, leaving potential for some residual showers south of Harbor Beach Thursday morning.
