URGENT - MARINE WEATHER MESSAGE
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE DETROIT/PONTIAC MI
348 AM EDT THU MAY 23 2013

...GUSTY NORTH WINDS AND HIGH WAVES TODAY AND TONIGHT...

.A COLD FRONT SINKING SOUTH WILL CAUSE WINDS TO SHIFT TO THE NORTH
ACROSS ALL WATERS THIS MORNING...AS THE MAIN SURFACE LOW AND
TRAILING COLD FRONT PUSH OFF TO THE EAST. WINDS AND WAVES WILL
INCREASE GREATLY WITH THE ADVECTION OF COLD AND DRY AIR...LEADING TO
SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY CONDITIONS FOR ALL OF THE LAKE HURON NEARSHORE
WATERS AND LAKE ST. CLAIR. FURTHER SOUTH OFFSHORE FLOW WILL CAUSE
WINDS TO STAY BELOW CRITIERIS FOR WESTERN LAKE ERIE. THEREFORE WILL
CONTINUE AND ISSUE SMALL CRAFT ADVISORIES FOR THESE ZONES TODAY AND
TONIGHT. ALTHOUGH WINDS MAY BRIEFLY REACH GALE FORCE ACROSS SOUTHERN
LAKE HURON THIS AFTERNOON...THE WINDOW APPEARS BRIEF ENOUGH AND WIND
SPEEDS MARGINAL ENOUGH TO AVOID HOISTING GALE WARNINGS FOR THIS
AFTERNOON. A CONTINUED NORTH WIND AND LONG FETCH ALONG LAKE HURON
WILL CONTINUE SMALL CRAFT CONDITIONS FOR THE LAKE HURON NEARSHORE
ZONES AND OUTER SAGINAW BAY AS WAVES REMAIN ELEVATED ON FRIDAY.

HIGH PRESSURE WILL BRING LOWER WINDS AND WAVES ACROSS THE CENTRAL
GREAT LAKES THIS WEEKEND...WITH CONDITIONS EXPECTED TO BE WELL BELOW
ANY HEADLINES.
