30 knots are possible over the northern third of lake michigan.

winds will trend light and variable tonight into saturday, as high
pressure around 30.2 inches approaches and ultimately crosses the
open waters. winds will veer south to southwesterly ahead of a 
weak cold front saturday night. the front is forecast to cross the
waters early sunday morning, bringing a brief northwesterly wind 
shift during the afternoon hours. winds will shift back to the 
southwest sunday night through monday, when low pressure around 
29.6 inches develops over northern ontario.

stronger low pressure around 29.2 inches will form over the 
northern great plains tuesday, resulting in increasing 
southeasterly winds over lake michigan. winds will continue to 
increase tuesday night into wednesday, as the low approaches and 
eventually crosses lake michigan. 

the low will progress east of the waters wednesday afternoon and 
evening, resulting in a gusty east to northeast wind shift

are possible tuesday night through thursday morning, with trends 
being monitored for possible headlines over coming forecasts.

moderate freezing spray are possible late wednesday night into 
thursday morning over the northern half of the waters.
