.synopsis...
ridging of 30.2 inches persists over lake superior today due to a
30.3 inch high centered over hudson bay. on thursday, this parent
high shifts southward over the lake at 30.3 inches. the high center
weakens to around 30.1 inches on friday as it continues its
southerly propagation towards lower michigan, causing pressure to
decrease to 29.9 inches over lake superior. following this, a second
ridge pushing in from hudson bay brings 30.1 inch ridging back over
the lake late on friday. pressure subsequently increases to 30.3
inches by saturday midday as this second parent high over hudson bay
propagates south. high pressure persists over lake superior through
early next week.
