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.
