track northeast tonight while sending its cold front across the 
lake. upon this cold front a wave of low pressure will develop, 
deepening from 29.5 inches this evening over the western waters to 
29.2 inches by tomorrow morning just east of the lake. this surface 
low will then heads towards and across new england tomorrow. a weak 
29.8 inch high will then build in across the lake friday which will 
be followed by a 29.7 inch low and cold front saturday. this low 
will steam off into quebec canada sunday while weakening to 29.9 
inches. meanwhile on sunday a coastal low off the carolina coastline 
of 29.8 inches will deepen to 29.4 inches monday as it tracks 
northeastward, albeit with still great amount of uncertainty to its 
track.
