.SYNOPSIS...
A ridge averaging 30.10 inches impacts Lake Erie today as the core
of the ridge moves from the Lake Ontario region to Atlantic
waters near Nantucket. This ridge exits eastward tonight as a warm
front sweeps northward across Lake Erie. A cold front is then
expected to sweep southeastward across Lake Erie Saturday night.
Behind the cold front, another ridge averaging 30.10 inches
impacts Lake Erie through Tuesday as the core of the ridge moves
from the north-central United States toward Atlantic waters near
New Jersey.
