1/3 of the wave spectrum. Occasional wave height is the average of

.SYNOPSIS...
An Arctic front over central Lake Erie late this evening exits
the rest of the lake to the southeast by very early Monday
morning. Behind the front, a trough averaging 30.10 inches lingers
over the eastern Great Lakes through Tuesday morning. Later on
Tuesday through Wednesday, a ridge averaging 30.70 inches builds
from the Upper Midwest and vicinity. This ridge begins to exit
eastward from Lake Erie Thursday as a low of 29.80 inches moves
eastward across the northern Great Lakes and vicinity. This low
will move toward southern Quebec on Friday and drag a cold front
eastward across Lake Erie.
