eastward through northern ontario and deepens to 29.4 inches
in the hudson bay overnight tonight. expect light southwesterly
winds to develop this morning, becoming breezy this afternoon and
evening. winds shift to become northwesterly and diminish

the open waters. light northwest winds continue through friday, 
becoming light and variable saturday as weak high pressure around
30.0 inches passes over the lake. winds will become southwesterly
again saturday night into sunday, and westerly by sunday night as
an additional low pressure system deepens across the hudson bay
and brings another weak cold front through the lake.
