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

.synopsis...

low pressure around 29.6 inches then develops in the central 
plains and progresses northeastward into northern illinois 
tuesday night, keeping winds northeasterly and gusty, with some 
potential for isolated thunderstorms across the southern third 
of the lake. low pressure ejects northeastward into wednesday 
morning, turning winds northwesterly. north to northwest gales 
are possible wednesday morning through wednesday afternoon. winds 
gradually diminish into thursday morning.
