.synopsis...
shower and thunderstorm activity is expected across lake michigan
late this evening into tonight as low pressure of 29.6 inches
over southeast minnesota continues to head northeast. winds will
be easterly north of a frontal boundary across roughly the
northern half of the lake, with southerly winds expected in the
south. then expecting another a couple passing low pressure system
to develop in the plains and track across lake michigan again on
tuesday and wednesday. each system will bring a chance for showers
and thunderstorms through the middle of the week. areas of dense
fog will likely occur at times due to a relatively mild and humid
airmass over the cold waters paired with lighter winds.
