For waters beyond five nautical miles of shore on Lake Erie

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

A high pressure ridge averaging 30.00 inches exits slowly eastward
before a cold front sweeps southeastward across Lake Erie on
Sunday. Behind the front, another ridge averaging 30.00 inches builds
from the northern Great Plains and vicinity through Monday before
the ridge begins to exit eastward on Tuesday through Wednesday.
During Wednesday night through Thursday, a potent low should wobble
east-northeastward from the Upper Mississippi Valley to southern
Quebec and deepen to around 29.10 inches. Accordingly, a warm
front should sweep northeastward across Lake Erie Wednesday night
and be followed by the eastward passage of a cold front on
Thursday.
