.synopsis...
a ridge averaging 30.00 inches affects lake erie through thursday

atlantic waters near the delmarva peninsula. during thursday night
through friday, a low should wobble northeastward from the upper 
mississippi valley to southern quebec and weaken to 29.80 inches. 
accordingly, a warm front should sweep northeastward across lake 
erie thursday night before a cold front sweeps southeastward 
across the lake on friday. behind the cold front, a ridge 
averaging 30.10 inches should build briefly from the northern 
great lakes and vicinity friday night. on saturday, another low 
should wobble northeastward from the lower ohio valley to lake 
huron, deepen to 29.30 inches, and allow a warm front to sweep 
northeastward across lake erie before a cold front sweeps 
generally eastward across the lake. behind the cold front, a 
trough averaging 29.90 inches should linger over lake erie on 
sunday. on monday, a ridge averaging 30.30 inches should build
