.SYNOPSIS...Low pressure, 28.90 inches, continues moving away from

occasional gales across Lake Huron will be possible through the
rest of the morning. Small Craft Advisory across Thumb nearshores
take over with elevated waves remaining through the day. The next
weaker clipper low pressure system arrives tonight in a
