cold front surging across southern lake michigan tuesday night 
and lifting through northern lake michigan wednesday as the low
further deepens to 29.3 inches over eastern lake superior. the 
strong low will generally maintain its strength as it crosses 
ontario wednesday night and quebec on thursday.

westerly gales will likely develop over southern lake michigan 
early wednesday morning and expand into the north half several
hours later. the westerly gales will become northwesterly 
wednesday night and persist into thursday afternoon before 
diminishing. it remains possible for some storm force gusts 
wednesday afternoon and night and thus we cannot rule out
shorter fused storm warning. however, a gale watch remains in 
effect at this time.

winds will diminish as high pressure of 30.5 inches crosses the
midwest on friday. look for southerly winds to develop sunday as
low pressure develops over the western half of the country. more
gales will bee possible this weekend into early next week.
