gusty northwest winds will continue this morning, as low pressure

strong high pressure over manitoba builds to around 31.1 inches. 
as the high pushes eastward into ontario tonight, expect gales to 
develop across the southern two-thirds of the open waters of lake 
michigan. a gale warning is now in effect this evening into midday
monday. moderate freezing spray is also expected, with some heavy
freezing spray possible in the central to northern third of the 
lake. winds will gradually diminish into monday, as strong low 
pressure around 28.7 inches moves toward nova scotia and high 
pressure around 30.6 inches lingers over the western great lakes 
region. a modest south wind develops tuesday, as the strong high 
pressure system continues eastward and weak low pressure around 
29.5 inches moves eastward through the northern great lakes. a 
cold front from this low will turn winds northwesterly again 
tuesday night into wednesday morning.
