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...high pressure, 30.50 inches, moves southeast as an 
ontario low pressure system and its cold front crosses the 
northern great lakes today. this system will clip the northern 
waters of lake huron resulting in a few additional light snow 
showers. a warm front lifts across the great lakes region 
wednesday offering milder and wetter conditions midweek.
