low pressure of 29.5 inches crossing ontario is dragging a weak
cold front south through lake michigan, shifting winds from
southwest to west-northwest. winds are expected to strengthen
behind this front, bringing gusts around 30 kt. winds will 
diminish tonight as a ridge of high pressure around 30.1 inches 
moves into the region. winds become southwesterly again on monday 
as an additional low pressure system moves through the canadian 
prairies. 

winds will shift northwesterly monday night as low pressure exits
into ontario and another cold front sweeps across the upper great
lakes. winds then shift westerly tuesday into tuesday night 
before turning northerly as low pressure deepens in the southeast 
u.s. on wednesday. wednesday into thursday, expect a strong band 
of lake effect snow and rain to develop north to south as low
pressure deepens to 29.4 inches as it crosses indiana and ohio. 
northerly gales are possible on thursday.
