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...An elongated trough axis expands into the southern Great Lakes late
today. Aside from a few isolated showers, a more active stretch of
weather gets underway tonight into Wednesday as low pressure, 29.50
inches, lifts across Lower Michigan. Expect several rounds of
showers and thunderstorms, including some strong to severe storms.
All severe hazards will be possible. The system's frontal passage
eventually leads to a transition to melting snowfall by Wednesday
evening. Seasonably cool conditions ensue Thursday, followed by more
rain, snow, and wind with another system on Friday.
