for waters beyond five nautical miles of shore on lake michigan.

.synopsis...
strong high pressure over ontario will weaken to around 30.4
inches tonight, leading to continued very light east winds. light
east to southeast winds will prevail for the rest of the week and
into the weekend as high pressure builds farther south into the

valley into tuesday, allowing winds to turn southeasterly and
increase as low pressure develops in the central plains.
