Open Lake Forecast for Lake Huron
National Weather Service Detroit/Pontiac MI
358 PM EST Wed Dec 4 2024

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...Low pressure, 29.20 inches, will track southeast
across south- central Ontario this evening and overnight
delivering a potent cold front and strong winds. The arctic
airmass may also favor the development of snow squalls,
especially late this evening before the colder air lingers into
Saturday. High pressure eventually builds in on either side of
the central waterways over the weekend.
