1/3 of the wave spectrum. occasional wave height is the average of

afternoon as subtle trough axes move eastward across lake erie. a 
cold front is expected to sweep southeastward across the lake 
this evening through tonight. behind the front, a ridge averaging
30.10 inches should affect lake erie as the embedded high 
pressure center moves from the canadian prairies to atlantic 
waters near north carolina on sunday through tuesday. the ridge 
exits generally eastward tuesday night through wednesday as a low 
of 29.70 inches wobbles east-southeastward from the northwestern 
great lakes toward lake ontario. this should allow a warm front to
sweep northward across lake erie tuesday night through wednesday 
morning and a cold front to sweep eastward across the lake later 
on wednesday.
