exit eastward from the lake. elsewhere, a low wobbles northeastward 
from the southwestern great lakes to southern quebec tonight through

front to sweep northeastward across the lake tonight and a strong 
cold front to sweep eastward across the lake on friday. behind the 
cold front, a ridge averaging 30.2 inches should affect the lake 
through this tuesday as one embedded high pressure center moves from

friday through monday, and then another embedded and reinforcing 
high pressure center moves from near manitoba toward quebec this
