Open Lake Forecast for Lake Erie
National Weather Service Cleveland OH
403 AM EDT Sun May 25 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 high pressure ridge averaging 30.30 inches builds slowly from
the western Great Lakes today through Monday. The ridge should
exit gradually toward the northeast and east Monday night through
Wednesday as low pressure of 30.00 inches moves from the Mid
Mississippi Valley Tuesday toward the central Great Lakes by
Wednesday or Wednesday night. This will allow a warm front to
approach the south shore of the lake Wednesday followed by a cold
frontal passage by Wednesday night. A trough averaging 29.90
inches should linger over Lake Erie Wednesday night through
Thursday as the low moves farther northeast toward central Quebec.
