low pressure around 29.4 inches will continue to exit into
quebec, allowing for continued westerly gusts near 30 kt into

to diminish and become southwesterly ahead of another quick-moving
low pressure system around 28.9 inches progressing east through
ontario overnight tonight into sunday morning.
winds will become gusty late tonight, with a gale warning in
effect for the northern half of the lake late tonight through
sunday morning. as low pressure exits to the east, winds will
diminish but remain southwesterly ahead of an additional low
moving through southern canada sunday night into monday. an
additional period of southwesterly gales is possible late sunday
night into monday morning. high pressure then dominates the region
and keeps winds light and variable monday afternoon through
monday night before shifting to become northeasterly as low
pressure develops in the plains tuesday.
