Lakes and toward northern New York state on Wednesday, allowing

from northern Ontario and vicinity through Wednesday night as a
separate frontal low of 29.50 inches moves from near central
Illinois toward central Indiana. This frontal low should wobble

inches to become established over and near Lake Erie. A ridge
averaging 30.00 inches should build eastward across Lake Erie
Friday night before another trough averaging 29.70 inches arrives
