.SYNOPSIS...
A warm front sweeps northeastward across Lake Erie tonight. Low

Lakes and toward northern New York state on Wednesday, allowing
the trailing cold front to sweep eastward across Lake Erie. Behind
the front, a ridge averaging 30.00 inches should attempt to build
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
east-northeastward from central Indiana toward the Gulf of Maine
on Thursday through Friday and allow a trough averaging 29.70
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
from the western Great Lakes on Saturday.
