for waters beyond five nautical miles of shore on lake ontario

waves are the significant wave height - the average of the highest

evening, will move quickly northeastward to near james bay tonight. 
this low will strengthen to 29.2 inches while continuing to trek 
northeast into northern quebec monday, with a trailing cold front 
stalling near the lake monday through tuesday. a 29.5 inch surface 
low advancing through the upper great lakes wednesday will lift this 
frontal boundary northward into canada. this 29.5 inch low will 
continue northeast into southern quebec on thursday while dragging 
an attendant cold front across the lake. a 30.2 inch high will then 
build over the lower great lakes on friday.
