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...
troughing continues to gradually weaken to 29.8 inches over lake
superior this evening as a 29.2 inch low over lake ontario tracks to
southern quebec at 29.1 inches by tonight. this will allow 30.2 inch
high pressure to rebuild over the northern plains while extending
weak ridging over lake superior through thursday. ridging breaks
down temporarily on friday as a 29.8 inch trough drops over the lake
from northern ontario, but ridging quickly rebuilds as 30.7 inch
high pressure over the northern plains extends back into the great
lakes this weekend.
