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

High pressure ridging averaging 30.20 inches and extending from
New England lingers over Lake Erie before a cold front sweeps
generally southward across the lake late Thursday afternoon
through evening. Behind the front, another ridge averaging 30.20
inches affects Lake Erie as the parent high pressure center moves
from near Hudson Bay Thursday night to Atlantic waters near Nova
Scotia by this Monday. However, a warm front will sweep northward
across Lake Erie on Sunday.
