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...

high pressure around 30.0 inches will continue to produce light
and variable winds into this morning before shifting eastward,
allowing southwesterly winds to increase as low pressure around
29.2 inches moves through ontario into the hudson bay. a few gusts
up to gale force are possible tonight into saturday in the
northern third of the open waters. low pressure will drag a weak 
cold front across the lake on saturday, shifting winds to the 
west-northwest by saturday night. winds gradually diminish 
through sunday as high pressure around 30.2 inches builds across 
the northern plains and into the great lakes. another area of low
pressure then develops across the canadian plains and tracks 
across ontario for monday through tuesday. this will bring a 
return of increasing south-southwesterly wind over lake michigan 
ahead of this systems cold front, with northwesterly winds behind
the front. gales are possible monday into monday night as the low
makes its closest approach.
