waves are provided as a range of significant wave heights, which
is the average of the highest 1/3 of the wave, along with the
average height of the highest 10% of the waves which will
occasionally be encountered.

.synopsis...

high pressure around 30.0 inches along with light and variable
winds will linger over the great lakes into friday morning. then
expect the high pressure to shift into the eastern great lakes 
with south to southwesterly winds picking up over lake michigan 
through the day as low pressure around 29.2 inches works its way 
into the hudson bay. the strongest gusts are expected to occur 
across the northern third of lake michigan friday afternoon into
saturday and may briefly approach gale force at times. the low 
pressure will gradually slide eastward through the weekend and 
drag a weak cold front across the upper great lakes region on 
saturday shifting winds to the west-northwest by saturday night. 
will then see winds gradually lessen through the day sunday as 
high pressure around 30.2 inches builds across the northern 
plains and into the upper great lakes through sunday evening. 
another low pressure then develops across the canadian plains and
tracks across ontario for the start of the week. this will bring 
a return of increasing south-southwesterly wind over lake michigan
ahead of this systems cold front, but timing and gusts will depend
on the strength of the low pressure and cold front.
