southeasterly winds across the lake shift more easterly through
the evening and increase as the low pressure slowly moves through
the region. then looking at stronger northeasterly winds with
gusts up to 25-30 knots across southern half of lake michigan
through the day saturday and lingering into sunday as the low
pressure slowly tracks over the eastern great lakes. isolated and
infrequent gusts to gale-force will be possible at times this
weekend on the backside of the deepening low pressure. winds then
diminish into the start of next week as the low pressure pushes
further east while high pressure begins to build across the upper
great lakes region monday and tuesday. this will bring lighter and
more variable winds to lake michigan before southerly winds
return by midweek as another low pressure system develops over the
