great lakes and a 29.7 inch low over lake winnipeg. today through 
tuesday afternoon, this low will slowly push just north of lake 
superior, dragging a 29.8 inch trough over the lake as it

night, high pressure of 30.3 inches builds over the northern plains. 
this high gradually settles over the great lakes by thursday 
morning, building to 30.4 inches. friday, the high moves to the 
southern portion of the great lakes while a 29.9 inch low moves 
across northern ontario. this weekend, high pressure resumes over 
the great lakes as a whole before another clipper low pressure moves 
across manitoba and ontario while a colorado low develops.
