Waves are the significant wave height - the average of the highest
1/3 of the wave spectrum. Occasional wave height is the average of
the highest 1/10 of the wave spectrum.

.SYNOPSIS...
High pressure ridge builds from the northwestern Great Lakes
today. The ridge then begins to exit toward the New England to
Mid- Atlantic seaboard tonight, which will allow a warm front to
lift northward across Lake Erie. A cold front should sweep
eastward across Lake Erie Saturday night into Sunday morning.
Behind the cold front, a trough averaging 29.90 inches should
linger over Lake Erie through this Tuesday.
