.synopsis...

tonight, 30.7 inch high pressure over quebec is extending 30.4 inch 
ridging over lake superior. meanwhile, a 29.4 inch low is moving 
from colorado to western kansas. this low lifts through the central 
plains and continues northeast thursday, reaching northern lake 
michigan thursday night before arriving at the ontario/quebec line 
at 29.7 inches on friday. as this happens, another colorado low 
moves into kansas at 29.7 inches by friday. this low moves into 
eastern iowa by friday night as sprawling 30.7 inch high pressure 
resides over far northern quebec and hudson bay. the low moves 
through the upper great lakes at 29.6 inches on saturday and by 
sunday lake superior looks to be between the low at 29.3 inches over 
northern quebec and a 30.3 inch high over the great plains. pressure 
rises on lake superior early next week as the high builds to 30.6 
inches over the red river valley (of the north).
