.SYNOPSIS...Weak low pressure, 29.70 inches, crosses the northern Great Lakes
mid-week resulting in a warm front lifting through the central
lakes. System eventually drags a cold front through the region late
Thursday supporting widespread showers and a few potentially strong
thunderstorms over the southern Great Lakes. Northerly winds
strengthen going into Friday as cold air returns. There is a low
chance for a few hour period Thursday night for gusts to reach gales.
