inch low over the upper midwest today, will move quickly 
northeastward to near james bay tonight, while pushing an attendant 
warm front across the lake this afternoon. this low will strengthen 
to 29.2 inches while continuing to trek northeast into northern 
quebec monday, with a trailing cold front stalling near the lake 
monday through tuesday. a 29.5 inch surface low advancing through 
the upper great lakes wednesday will lift this frontal boundary 
northward into canada. this 29.5 inch low will continue northeast 
into southern quebec on thursday while dragging an attendant cold 
front across the lake. a 30.2 inch high will then build over the 
lower great lakes on friday.
