.SYNOPSIS...High pressure at 30.3 inches remains anchored

Quebec by Wednesday morning. At the same time, a 29.4 inch trough
emerges from the western Plains on Tuesday. Low pressure of 29.3
inches developing along this trough Tuesday night and Wednesday
will lift into Saskatchewan Wednesday night. As the low drifts
northeast to Manitoba on Thursday, an associated 29.7 inch trough
will progress across the Dakotas. As the low continues to track
northeast to Hudson Bay on Friday, the associated trough will
reach western Lake Superior and then dissipate. Meanwhile, weak
29.9 to 30.0 inch ridging extends from northern Quebec into the
Great Lakes region on Thursday and Friday. High pressure ridging
looks to rise to 30.1 inches over the Great Lakes on Saturday.
