.SYNOPSIS...
A ridge averaging 30.40 inches persists over Lake Erie through
Friday. The ridge exits eastward as a warm front drifts
northeastward across the lake on Friday night through Saturday.
Behind the front, the aforementioned ridge rebuilds into our
region and averages 30.00 inches. Simultaneously, our region
becomes located along the northwestern flank of the ridge as the
core of the ridge becomes located offshore the southeastern United
States. A weak cold front should sweep eastward across Lake Erie
on Tuesday and be followed by another ridge averaging 30.00 inches
and building from the Upper Midwest.
