.synopsis...

low pressure around 29.7 inches over lake superior this morning
has brought southwest gales to the northern half of the lake. the
winds will gradually weaken over the next few hours to below gale
force.

a much stronger low around 29.2 inches will then track from
minnesota across southern lake mi and into lower mi tonight. 
southwest to westerly gales will develop ahead of the low over 
the southern third of the lake tonight, followed by the potential
for northwest to northerly gales on wednesday after the low 
passes. the northwest gales will bring more widespread gales
across the southern two thirds of the lake. a gale warning is now
in effect for the south third starting mid evening tonight and
starting for the central third early wednesday morning (11z). the
brisk winds will then gradually diminish wednesday night. a 
period of northwesterly gales may then return friday night into 
saturday as a strong arctic front moves through the great lakes 
region. heavy freezing spray may develop.
