average height of the highest 10% of the waves which will

.synopsis...
a broad area of low pressure around 29.4 inches will become
deeper over southern hudson bay this morning. this will bring
continued breezy south winds to all of lake michigan. winds will
weaken later this morning as the aforementioned area of low
pressure quickly moves away and the trailing cold front stalls
over central lake michigan. then, a couple passing low pressure
system along the stalled front will lead to intermittent showers
and thunderstorms through the middle of the week. areas of dense
fog will likely occur at times due to a relatively mild and humid
airmass over the cold waters. will be monitoring observational
trends and issuing dense fog advisories should conditions warrant.
