506 AM EDT Tue Mar 24 2026

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...High pressure, 30.50 inches, briefly centers over southern Lower
Michigan tonight, but then gets forced out on Tuesday by an Ontario
low pressure system and its cold front. The trough feature crosses
the northern Great Lakes Tuesday, clipping the northern waters of
Lake Huron which results in a few additional light snow showers. A
warm front lifts across the Great Lakes region Wednesday offering
milder and wetter conditions midweek.
