average height of the highest 10% of the waves which will

.synopsis...

elevated waves and cold temperatures will support moderate to 
heavy freezing spray through tuesday afternoon. a heavy freezing 
spray warning is in effect until 6 pm cst tuesday.

breezy northwest winds over the open waters will be is expected early
this morning into the afternoon hours. these breezy winds will be
caused by the tight pressure gradient between a 30.7 inch high 
moving south through the central plains and a 29.5 inch low 
moving east across the mid atlantic states. gusts of 25 to 30 
knots will be possible. 

tonight a 30.5 inch high pressure will build into the ohio river 
valley as 29.8 inch low pressure attempts to form over lake 
superior, resulting in a west- southwest wind shift across lake 
michigan. winds will become gusty at times tonight into tuesday 
morning, when a few gales are possible over the southern third of 
the open waters. while gales are not expected to be widespread at 
this time, trends will continue to be monitored for potential 
headlines in coming forecasts.

winds will trend west-northwesterly tuesday afternoon and night as 
30.4 inch high pressure builds into the northern great plains. 
winds will gradually taper wednesday through thursday as said area
of high pressure moves into the upper mississippi river valley.
