Lake Erie Forecast

Open Lake Forecast for Lake Erie
National Weather Service Cleveland OH
906 AM EDT Thu Aug 13 2026

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 frontal boundary will finally push into the Ohio Valley today as
high pressure 30.00 inches builds into the Great Lakes. This high
will shift over Lake Erie Friday and strengthen to 30.10 inches
before drifting southeast late Saturday to allow a warm front to
lift north across the lake by Sunday morning. Low pressure 29.90
inches crossing the central Great Lakes Sunday will pull a cold
front across the lake Sunday night.
