.DISCUSSION...

High pressure settled over the Eastern Great Lakes will continue
to bring south to southwesterly winds today with sustained winds
generally below 10 mph and gusts 15-20 mph at times. No small
craft conditions are expected today with wave heights of 1-2
feet. While expecting very low precipitation chances (0-10%) for
Manitou Island and passage to Leland Harbor, cannot completely
rule out patchy sprinkles or an isolated light shower this
morning. Similar winds and marine conditions expected tonight
into Monday morning with increasing cloud cover overnight. Then
showers chances increase and winds and wave heights pick up later
Monday through Tuesday with better potential for small craft
conditions.
