...westerly gales over northern third of lake huron tomorrow...
.strong easterly winds gusting around 30 knots this afternoon
north of presque isle as warm front lifts north into the central
great lakes. this warm front will bring much milder air to the
region...leading to more stable low level profiles...which is
expected to cap the winds over lake huron at around 30 knots. strong
low over lake superior late tonight will be tracking northeast and
then north into james bay during the day tomorrow...with cold front
passage occurring early in the day. plenty of cold air streaming in
during thursday and thursday night will promote deeper mixing...and
confidence is high many locations over lake huron will gusts to 30
knots. across the north third of lake huron will upgrade the watch
to a warning. the biggest hangup is wind direction will be slightly
south of due west due to the low track...and would prefer due
westerly or northwest to fully maximizing channeling through the
straights. even so...gale force winds seem likely thursday into
thursday night as canadian model is also showing a surface trough
passing through during the early evening hours which should only
help increase the winds.
expansive high pressure will build in for the first half of the
