Open Lake Forecast for Lake Erie
National Weather Service Cleveland OH
924 PM EDT Sat May 3 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 trough averaging 29.90 inches lingers over Lake Erie as the
parent low of 29.80 inches meanders near the Mid Ohio Valley
through Monday, wobbles generally northward to near Lake Erie
Monday night into Tuesday, and then wobbles east-northeastward
toward New England on Tuesday night through Wednesday. This low
track should allow a trailing cold front to sweep southeastward
across Lake Erie late Tuesday into Wednesday. Behind the cold
front, a ridge averaging 30.20 inches should build from the
northern Great Lakes and vicinity through Thursday.
