.SYNOPSIS...

Currently light and variable surface flow will begin to increase out
of the east today, ultimately shifting out of the southeast from
tonight through Tuesday morning as a 29.0 inch low pressure
center develops over the northern Great Plains. An area of showers
and embedded thunderstorms will approach from the west Tuesday
morning, ultimately crossing the open waters during the afternoon
hours. Said activity is not currently anticipated to be
strong/severe. Additional shower and storm activity can`t be ruled
out on Tuesday evening, though coverage will be more scattered
compared to the afternoon round of rainfall. Any storms
developing Tuesday evening would be capable of gusty winds and
hail. Winds will turn out of the southwest Tuesday night as a 29.5
inch low pressure center moves from the open waters toward Lake
Huron, prior to turning out of the northeast on Wednesday
afternoon as a second area of 29.5 inch low pressure approaches
from the central Great Plains. Additional showers and
thunderstorms are possible as the second area of low pressure
approaches. Winds will turn out of the north through the end of
the week as high pressure builds into the Great Plains.
