high pressure of 30.3 inches will continue to shift east tonight.
light and variable winds will become south-southeasterly by dawn

afternoon. a gale warning has been issued for this time period, 
over roughly the middle third of the lake. gusty winds then ease 
a bit during the early evening hours as a cold front passes and
winds become northwesterly. gusty northwest winds then return
wednesday morning in the cold advection regime behind the cold
front.

north to northwest winds then ease wednesday night into thursday
