.SYNOPSIS...
A ridge averaging 30.50 inches affects Lake Erie through this

northern Great Lakes to central New York. As the high pressure
center drifts farther eastward Thursday night, a warm front will
sweep northward across Lake Erie. Behind the front, a ridge
averaging 30.40 inches should build from the southern Appalachians
through Friday night. On Saturday through Sunday, a very weak
cold front should sweep eastward across Lake Erie. A low of 30.10
inches should form along the front and move generally northward
across Lake Erie and vicinity during the same time period. Behind
the front, another ridge averaging 30.20 inches should build from
the western Great Lakes through this Monday.
