.DISCUSSION...

A surface ridge extending over the area from high pressure over
Ontario will continue to bring a weak pressure gradient, resulting
in light winds and dry weather. Expect a lake breeze to develop from
Lake Superior and push inland in the early afternoon, bringing a
shift from light southerly winds to light northerly winds. Towards
early evening the Lake Michigan lake breeze could push north and
shift winds back to the south, but still light. Moderate mixing (3-5
kft) will bring drier air over the interior this afternoon with
humidity down to 40%. Good recoveries are expected tonight with humidity
reaching saturation. Expect very similar conditions for Monday
the expection of the inland extend of the Lake Superior lake breeze,
which will likely stall before reaching the burn area.
