Synopsis..
another low pressure area of 29.6 inches will deepen across ontario today into northwest quebec for late tonight into Friday. With a strengthening high pressure of 30.7 inches in western canada impinging southeastward the pressure gradient will sharply increase for Friday across the region leading to breezy westerly winds across the lake during this time. However, winds are not expected to be as strong as over land due to the cooler waters of the lake. Through the weekend the high pressure will weaken as it slides southeast meaning winds will trend lighter while remaining largely from the west to northwest.
