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...moderate wind and mild temperatures are in place
between larger scale weather systems today which continues
tonight as the next low pressure system, 29.20 inches, moves
toward the great lakes. this system moves across northern ontario
tuesday and brings a light rain and snow mix to lake huron and
lower michigan. the low pivots through the region tuesday night
into wednesday, eventually forcing a cold frontal passage. this
leads to a changeover to snow with the possibility for a period
of post-frontal gales late wednesday. winds speeds steadily
decrease thursday with a passing surface ridge axis, then flip 
southerly by friday ahead of the next clipper system.
