highest 1/3 of the wave spectrum. occasional wave height is the
average of the highest 1/10 of the wave spectrum.
.synopsis...
30.4 inch high pressure over quebec is sending 30.3 inch ridging
over the lake through tonight. meanwhile, two 29.7-29.8 inch lows,
one over the lower mississippi valley and one over the northern
plains, are set track into manitoba and the lower great lakes
(respectively) into saturday while weakening to 29.9 inches. in
response to these lows, weak troughing of around 30.0 inches passes
northward over lake superior saturday night into sunday night,
before ridging of around 30.0 inches returns on monday. behind this,
expect weak troughing of around 29.9 inches to return to the lake by
