Open Lake Forecast for Lake Superior
National Weather Service Marquette MI
343 PM EST Sun Nov 24 2024

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... A 30.0 inch high pressure ridge extending from
northern Manitoba across Lake Superior to the Ohio River Valley
will shift east, reaching the Lower Great Lakes this evening.
Meanwhile, a 29.7 inch low pressure developing over the Southern
Plains today will lift northeast, crossing the Great Lakes region
during Monday and Monday night. As the low deepens to 29.5 inches
while tracking to southern Quebec on Tuesday, a 30.3 inch ridge
will build southeast to the Middle Mississippi River Valley. The
low will drift north over Quebec during Tuesday night and
Wednesday as the ridge weakens to 30.1 inches while drifting east
and approaching the Upper Great Lakes. On Thursday, the low, at a
pressure of 29.7 inches, will spin near James Bay while a ridge of
30.5 inches builds southeast into the Plains. 30.2 inch high
pressure nudges into far western Lake Superior Friday.
