Synopsis..
light winds continue as high pressure around 30.4 inches gradually slides into the eastern great lakes tonight. Meanwhile a low pressure around 29.3 inches develops in the central plains overnight and slides east bringing, increasing southeasterly winds across lake michigan for Friday. Expect stronger southeasterly winds with a potential for a few, brief gale force gusts to persist as the low pressure lifts into mn Friday night and Saturday. This low will weaken as it lifts further northeast through the day Saturday before another, stronger low pressure system around 29.5 inches develops over the plains and lifts northeast across the great lakes region Sunday into Monday. This looks to bring another round of gusty winds to the lake.
showers and Thunderstorms are possible Friday night through Sunday night, with the best chances for Thunderstorms Friday night, Saturday afternoon and night, and Sunday afternoon and night.
