FOR WATERS BEYOND FIVE NAUTICAL MILES OF SHORE ON Lake Michigan.

SYNOPSIS

Areas of dense fog will occur at times for the south half of the lake tonight into Sunday morning. A Dense Fog Advisory is in effect into Sunday morning. Winds will remain light and variable through Sunday night as weak high pressure moves across Lake Michigan Sunday afternoon and evening. Winds will then turn out of the south late Sunday night into Monday as a 29.5 inch low pressure area tracks from the northern Great Plains into Canada. Southerly winds will continue through Tuesday night as a second area of a 29.3 inch low pressure forms over central Canada. A cold front will cross the open waters on Wednesday, resulting in a west to northwest wind shift through the second half of the upcoming week. Periods of showers and thunderstorms are forecast from Monday through Wednesday.
