waves are provided as a range of significant wave heights, which
is the average of the highest 1/3 of the wave, along with the
average height of the highest 10% of the waves which will
occasionally be encountered.

.synopsis...

low pressure around 29.8 inches over southwestern ontario and low
pressure around 29.4 inches over the northeast u.s. will combine
to produce continued northwesterly winds throughout tonight and
friday. on friday, a cold front from the low in ontario will
progress northwest to southeast across the open waters, bringing
briefly gusty northwesterly winds. 

winds will diminish into saturday as low pressure exits and high 
pressure around 30.2 inches builds into the central great plains 
and middle mississippi valley. expect light and variable winds 
saturday night before gusty southwesterly winds develop ahead of a
low pressure system tracking across far southern canada sunday 
into monday. gales are possible during this time frame, especially
in the northern half of the lake. low pressure will drag a strong
cold front through the lake on monday, shifting winds to 
northwesterly and producing additional gale potential through 
monday night.
