DISCUSSION.
The heat continues this weekend as the upper level ridge over the upper Midwest today slowly advances eastward with its axis passing over the Great Lakes on Monday. High pressure dominates at the surface with light northeast winds advecting a slightly drier air mass in from Canada - this will keep dew points and mugginess more in check this afternoon compared to yesterday. The diurnal cumulus response should be muted by the drying air and modest subsidence today, so expect plenty of sunshine with just periods of passing cirrus. Highs in the lower 90s with upper 70s to 80s along the Lake Huron shoreline. A near repeat forecast is in store for Sunday, though temps look a few degrees higher as the air mass continues to modify in the July sun. Lows fall to the 60s each night.
The upper ridge axis moves east of SE Michigan on Monday and opens the door for west and southwest flow to advect in an even warmer and more humid air mass that has been positioned over the Plains. Expect the heat to continue through the week with potential for highs to climb into the mid 90s - some 10 degrees above normal. Overnight lows will likely only fall to the upper 60s to 70s with the uptick in moisture moving in. The chance for showers and storms returns on Tuesday as a shortwave in the midlevel flow moves into the Great Lakes. Each day thereafter features at least a slight chance of diurnal convection as weak shortwaves periodically ripple overhead, though persistent midlevel capping may keep the dry streak going as higher heights build back in Thursday. No strong signal is evident in the medium range model suite to indicate any widespread rainfall events - ridging persists over the SE CONUS and the jet stream/storm track remains just north of us.
MARINE.
A ridge of high pressure remains firmly over the Great Lakes region and will continue to hold through the weekend. Favorable marine conditions last through the weekend and beginning of next week with light winds and dry weather.

Finally, tide and current data on this site is from 2007 and 2008 data bases, which may contain even older data. Changes in harbors due to building or dredging change tides and currents and for that reason many of the locations presented are no longer supported by newer data bases.

In addition, tide and current are influenced by storms, river flow, and other factors beyond the ability of any predictive program. |
