between these systems. gusts to or just over 30 knots are likely
today, with a few gusts possibly cracking gale force. there is a
brief window for gales in the south tonight, though confidence
isn't high enough for a watch or warning at this point. 

low pressure of 29.7 inches will move through northern lake
michigan tonight into sunday, dragging a cold front through the
area and flipping the winds to the northwest. lighter winds sunday
night under high pressure will increase again later monday into
monday night, with a higher chance for gales during this period.
