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 30.2 inches will continue to push east
overnight, while low pressure around 29.2 inches develops over the
northern plains. southeast winds will shift south overnight.

expect winds to increase later today, as lake michigan sits 
between the two systems, and has the potential to produce 
southerly gusts up to 30 knots through early sunday morning. a few
gale force gusts are possible across the northern portions of the
lake saturday afternoon and evening. any such gusts are expected
to be brief and isolated, with gale headlines not anticipated.

the main low pressure system weakens to around 29.6 inches 
sunday, as it lifts from ontario into the james bay region. this 
will drag a cold front across the upper great lakes later sunday 
into monday, as south to southwest winds shift north later monday
into tuesday. could see a few gale force gusts monday night into 
tuesday behind the cold frontal passage. showers and storms will
accompany the passing front. widespread severe weather hazards are
not anticipated at this time. winds should gradually ease through
the middle of the week, as another high pressure system around 
30.2 inches builds across the upper great lakes region.

lake superior is currently between a 30.3 inch high over the lower 
great lakes and a 29.3 inch low over southern saskatchewan. into 
saturday morning, the high will build to 30.4 inches over new york 
as the canada low weakens slightly to 29.4 inches and expands across 
the north plains. meanwhile, 29.7 inch hurricane isaias will move 
north through alabama, eventually helping to kick the high east 
through this weekend. by early sunday morning, the canada low will 
split into 2 weaker 29.7 inch lows, one settling over the central 
plains and one moving from northern minnesota to northern ontario. 
this will create weak 29.8 inch troughing over lake superior for 
sunday, deepening to 29.7 inches by monday evening. meanwhile, the 
high will shift to the new england coastline then over the atlantic, 
ushered east by the tropical remnants at 29.8 inches as they move 
into the ne conus. the colorado low crosses the great lakes basin 
early next week, followed by 30.2 inch high pressure for the midweek.
