for waters beyond five nautical miles of shore on lake ontario

29.5 inch coastal low over the gulf of maine later this afternoon 
and evening. in its wake...a 30.5 inch high over the tennessee 
valley will briefly ridge across the lower lakes tonight...with its 
axis then sliding out across new england monday. another 29.3 inch 
low will then move from western ontario province tuesday to southern 
quebec wednesday. this system will push its trailing cold front 
across the lake wednesday night...with a secondary coastal low then 
developing along the mid-atlantic coastline thursday.
