for waters beyond five nautical miles of shore on lake michigan.
waves are provided as a range of significant wave heights, which
is the average of the highest 1/3 of the wave, along with the
average height of the highest 10% of the waves which will

.synopsis...
high pressure of 30.0 inches over the great lakes this morning will
strengthen to 30.2 inches this weekend while remaining in place. the
high will largely stay put through the first half of next week,

increasing a bit early next week.
