.DISCUSSION...
Low pressure over Ontario will continue to push away from the area
resulting in diminishing winds and waves over the next few hours. Skies
will be clear through the night other than a few passing high clouds.
Once the winds subside this evening waves of 3-4 feet will become less
than a foot by midnight. Light winds and waves less than a foot can be
expected thereafter, through Thursday. A few rain showers are possible
(20% chance) on Wednesday night but they should be light, minimizing
reductions on ceilings and visibility with mainly VFR conditions.
Icing is not expected this tonight with VFR conditions from Grand Rapids
to Marquette. For additional enroute and areal forecasts please contact
WFO Marquette MI.
