.SYNOPSIS...

Ridging of 30.1 inches over Lake Superior weakens to 30.0 inches
through tonight as a 29.4 inch low over the Black Hills expands into
the Northern Plains and Canadian Prairies at 29.3 inches. By Monday

over Minnesota and 30.2 inch high pressure over New England. The
troughing weakens to around 29.9 inches before moving over Lake
Superior on Tuesday. Pressure continues to fall over the lake
through Wednesday as a Colorado low lifts through the Northern
Plains towards Lake Winnipeg, strengthening to 29.6 inches by
Wednesday night as the low deepens to 29.1 inches over far northern
Ontario. Another Colorado low lifts into the western Great Lakes at
around 29.5 inches by late Thursday.
