for waters beyond five nautical miles off shore on lake huron

waves are the significant wave height - the average of the highest
1/3 of the wave spectrum. occasional wave height is the average of
the highest 1/10 of the wave spectrum.

.synopsis...the next low pressure system, 29.20 inches, moves
across ontario today and brings a light rain and snow mix to lake
huron and lower michigan. the low pivots through the region
tonight into wednesday, eventually forcing a cold frontal
passage. this leads to a changeover to snow with the possibility
for a period of post-frontal gales late wednesday. winds speeds
steadily decrease thursday with a passing surface ridge axis,
then flip southerly by friday ahead of the next clipper system.
