..06Z TAF AVIATION FORECAST UPDATE
 
 
   
SYNOPSIS
 
 
A COLD FRONT ASSOCIATED WITH A LOW OVER THE GREAT LAKES EXTENDING  
SOUTH ACROSS THE CENTRAL PORTION OF THE AREA WILL DEPART TO THE EAST  
THIS EVENING. THIS LOW WILL GRADUALLY MOVE SOUTHEAST TOWARDS THE MID-  
ATLANTIC COAST THURSDAY BEFORE A SURFACE TROUGH BECOMES ESTABLISHED  
INTO THE WEEKEND. HIGH PRESSURE WILL BUILD EAST ON SUNDAY.  
 

 
   
NEAR TERM /THROUGH TODAY/
 
 
CANCELLED THE WIND ADVISORY FOR CUYAHOGA COUNTY AS WINDS HAVE  
BACKED TO SOUTHWESTERLY, KEEPING THE STRONGER FLOW ON THE  
LAKE FOCUSED OFFSHORE. THE REMAINING ADVISORIES SHOULD BE ABLE  
TO EXPIRE AS EXPECTED AT MIDNIGHT.  
 
THE FORECAST FOR TONIGHT REMAINS ON TRACK WITH SOME OF THE  
COLDEST AIR OF THE SEASON ARRIVING. TEMPERATURES WILL FALL INTO  
THE LOW TO MID 30S WITH SCATTERED LIGHT RAIN SHOWERS  
TRANSITIONING TO SCATTERED LIGHT SNOW SHOWERS. MORE SIGNIFICANT  
ADJUSTMENTS WERE MADE TO THE FORECAST FOR THURSDAY EVENING AS A  
BAND OF HEAVIER PRECIPITATION IS EXPECTED TO DEVELOP OVER LAKE  
ERIE. WHILE SURFACE LOW PRESSURE MOVE SOUTH OFF LAKE MICHIGAN,  
ANOTHER LOW LEVEL TROUGH WILL STRENGTHEN OVER LAKE ERIE.  
PRECIPITATION WILL INCREASE AS LAKE TO 850MB DELTA T RAMPS UP TO  
AROUND 18C, WITH LAKE INDUCED CAPE OF OVER 600 J/KG AND  
EQUILIBRIUM LEVELS OVER 16K FEET. THE PRECIPITATION WILL DEVELOP  
DURING THE AFTERNOON OVER LAKE ERIE WITH SOUTHWESTERLY SURFACE  
WINDS SOUTH OF THE LAKE, THEN MOVE IN OFF THE LAKE AS THE TROUGH  
PUSHES SOUTH DURING THE EVENING. TEMPERATURES DURING THIS TIME  
FRAME WILL BE CRITICAL FOR PRECIP TYPE AND ARE EXPECTED TO BE  
WARMER THE CLOSER YOU GET TO LAKE ERIE. THERMAL PROFILES SUPPORT  
SNOW EXCEPT FOR WHERE THE BOUNDARY LAYER MAY BE TOO WARM. THE  
QUALITY OF THE SNOW IS DIFFICULT TO DISCERN GIVEN THE  
CONVECTIVE COMPONENT WHICH MAY CONTRIBUTE TO PELLETS VS  
DENDRITES. IT SEEMS AREAS WITHIN A FEW MILES OF LAKE ERIE WILL  
LIKELY BE RAIN WHILE AREAS IN SOUTHERN LAKE, GEAUGA, AND EASTERN  
CUYAHOGA MAY BE MORE LIKELY TO SEE A WINDOW OF GOOD SNOW DURING  
THE 6-11 PM WINDOW. TRENDED ACCUMULATIONS UP IN THE FORECAST  
WITH AROUND 2-4 INCHES IN SOUTHERN GEAUGA COUNTY. IF  
TEMPERATURES ARE EVEN A DEGREE OR TWO WARMER THOUGH,  
PRECIPITATION COULD FALL AS EITHER A WET SNOW OR MIX WITH RAIN  
AND LIMIT ACCUMULATIONS. THE INCREASED SNOW AMOUNTS EXTEND INTO  
THE SECONDARY SNOW BELT WITH A COUPLE INCHES ALSO POSSIBLE IN  
MEDINA, NORTHERN SUMMIT AND PORTAGE COUNTIES TOO. BY LATE  
THURSDAY NIGHT, COVERAGE OF PRECIPITATION EXPANDS AS DEEPER  
MOISTURE WRAPS IN FROM THE NORTH BUT TEMPERATURES AT 925MB WARM  
ABOVE FREEZING SO MUCH OF THE AREA WILL SEE PRECIPITATION  
TRANSITION BACK TO RAIN.  
 
PREVIOUS DISCUSSION...A LARGE NEGATIVELY TILTED TROUGH WILL  
CONTINUE TO PUSH SOUTH- SOUTHEAST THROUGH THE PERIOD, GRADUALLY  
SHIFTING EAST. THE OCCLUDED LOW AT THE SURFACE, CURRENTLY  
LOCATED OVER THE CENTRAL GREAT LAKES, WILL LIKELY RETROGRADE A  
BIT ON THURSDAY BEFORE MERGING WITH ANOTHER LOW OFF THE MID-  
ATLANTIC COAST BY THE END OF THIS PERIOD. CURRENTLY THIS  
AFTERNOON, A STRONG COLD FRONT ASSOCIATED WITH THIS SYSTEM IS  
MOVING EAST ACROSS THE AREA, BRINGING WIDESPREAD RAIN SHOWERS  
AND GUSTY WINDS. WIND GUSTS ASSOCIATED WITH THIS LINE OF SHOWERS  
AND BEHIND THE FRONT HAVE TYPICALLY REMAINED BETWEEN 25-35 MPH  
AS A STRONG LLJ OF 30-40 KNOTS SURGES EAST. THESE WINDS WILL BE  
LOCALLY ENHANCED FOR COUNTIES DOWNSTREAM OF LAKE ERIE,  
ESPECIALLY FROM LORAIN COUNTY EAST TO ERIE COUNTY PA WITH WIND  
GUSTS OF 45-50 MPH POSSIBLE. THESE COUNTIES HAVE BEEN  
HIGHLIGHTED IN A WIND ADVISORY UNTIL MIDNIGHT TONIGHT, ALTHOUGH  
CONDITIONS MAY IMPROVE AN HOUR OR TWO BEFORE EVEN THEN. AS THIS  
FRONT PUSHES TO THE EAST LATE TONIGHT, A PUSH OF DRY AIR OVER  
THE AREA WILL ALLOW FOR MOSTLY DRY CONDITIONS WITH OVERNIGHT  
LOWS FALLING INTO THE LOW 30S.  
 
ON THURSDAY, THE OCCLUDED LOW IS EXPECTED TO CONTINUE TO PIVOT OVER  
THE GREAT LAKES AREA AS THE UPPER LEVEL TROUGH GRADUALLY MOVES EAST.  
THE POSITIONING OF THIS SYSTEM SHOULD PLACE THE GREATEST SUPPORT FOR  
ANY WIDESPREAD SHOWERS TO BE ON THE WESTERN PERIPHERY OF THE AREA  
WHERE A STRONG LLJ, ENHANCED VORT MAX, AND STEEP LOW-LEVEL LAPSE  
RATES WILL RESULT IN WIDESPREAD SNOW SHOWERS. THIS HAS THE POTENTIAL  
TO CLIP THE WESTERN TIER OF COUNTIES WITH ANY SHIFT IN THE LOW  
CENTER, BUT WITH SUCH WARM AND WET ANTECEDENT CONDITIONS, NOT  
EXPECTING ANY SNOW ACCUMULATION MORE THAN 1 INCH. THERE IS A  
POTENTIAL FOR SCATTERED SNOW SHOWERS ACROSS THE REMAINDER OF THE  
AREA WITH MOISTURE CONTINUING TO WRAP AROUND THE OCCLUDED LOW AND  
OVERALL FORCING REMAINING STRONG ACROSS THE REGION. WITH MUCH COOLER  
TEMPERATURES ON THURSDAY IN THE MID 30S, THE BULK OF PRECIPITATION  
SHOULD FALL AS FLAKES, ALTHOUGH A RAIN/SNOW MIX REMAINS LIKELY ALONG  
THE IMMEDIATE LAKESHORE. BY THURSDAY NIGHT, THE AFOREMENTIONED LOW  
BEGINS TO MERGE WITH ANOTHER LOW OFF THE MID-ATLANTIC COAST, MARKING  
THE TRANSITION FROM SYNOPTIC DRIVEN PRECIPITATION TO A MORE  
PREDOMINANT LAKE EFFECT SYSTEM. MODELS CONTINUE TO SUGGEST A STRONG  
CONVERGENT BOUNDARY ACROSS THE SNOWBELT AREA WITH STEEP LAPSE RATES,  
STRONG OMEGA FORCING AND EQL NEAR 13KFT. IN ADDITION, 850MB  
TEMPERATURES OF -4 TO -6C WILL ALLOW FOR ADEQUATE LAKE INDUCED  
INSTABILITY TO DEVELOP. THE GOOD NEWS (OR MAYBE NOT FOR SNOW LOVERS)  
IS THAT WARMER AIR IS EXPECTED TO WRAP AROUND THE SURFACE LOW,  
KEEPING MOST OF THE PRECIPITATION AS RAIN, ESPECIALLY ACROSS THE  
NORTHERN TIER OF COUNTIES, WITH A RAIN/SNOW MIX ELSEWHERE. OVERALL  
IMPACTS SHOULD REMAIN MINOR WITH THIS EVENT WITH THE HIGHEST  
SNOWFALL AMOUNTS EXPECTED IN THE HIGHER ELEVATIONS, BUT STILL  
REMAINING BELOW 2 INCHES. OVERNIGHT LOWS ON THURSDAY WILL BE IN THE  
LOW 30S AGAIN.  
 

 
   
SHORT TERM /TONIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY NIGHT/
 
 
N'ERLY FLOW ALOFT ON FRIDAY BECOMES NW'ERLY OVER OUR REGION FRIDAY  
NIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY NIGHT AS A VERTICALLY-STACKED LOW WOBBLES  
NE'WARD OVER THE NORTHEASTERN UNITED STATES AND CANADIAN MARITIMES.  
THE ASSOCIATED SURFACE TROUGH LINGERS OVER THE LAKE ERIE REGION AND  
UPPER OH VALLEY THROUGH SATURDAY. DURING SATURDAY NIGHT, A RIDGE AT  
THE SURFACE AND ALOFT IS EXPECTED TO BUILD FROM THE UPPER MIDWEST. A  
PRIMARILY N'ERLY TO NW'ERLY MEAN LOW-LEVEL FLOW WILL ALLOW A NEAR-  
NORMAL AIR MASS FOR LATE NOVEMBER TO PERSIST OVER OUR CWA. AFTERNOON  
HIGHS ARE EXPECTED TO REACH THE 40'S ON FRIDAY AND THE MID 40'S TO  
LOWER 50'S ON SATURDAY. OVERNIGHT LOWS ARE EXPECTED TO REACH MAINLY  
THE MID 30'S TO LOWER 40'S AROUND DAYBREAK SATURDAY AND MAINLY THE  
LOWER 30'S TO LOWER 40'S AROUND DAYBREAK SUNDAY.  
 
SCATTERED AND PERIODIC SHOWERS WILL IMPACT OUR CWA THROUGH FRIDAY  
NIGHT DUE TO MOIST ISENTROPIC ASCENT PRECEDING SHORTWAVE TROUGH AXES  
AND LOW-LEVEL CONVERGENCE/ASCENT ALONG ATTENDANT SURFACE TROUGH AXES  
COINCIDING WITH SUFFICIENT MOISTURE AND RELEASING WEAK POTENTIAL  
INSTABILITY IN THE LOWEST 1 KM AGL. A SUFFICIENTLY-COLD/MOIST  
LOW/MID-LEVEL ATMOSPHERIC COLUMN OVER/DOWNWIND OF ~12C LAKE ERIE,  
THE SEEDER-FEEDER PROCESS, AND APPRECIABLE LAKE-INDUCED CAPE WILL  
ALLOW LAKE-ENHANCED PRECIP, STEADY TO HEAVY AT TIMES, TO OCCUR OVER  
AND GENERALLY SOUTH AND THEN SOUTHEAST OF LAKE ERIE AS N'ERLY TO  
NW'ERLY MEAN LOW-LEVEL FLOW ON FRIDAY BECOMES PRIMARILY NW'ERLY  
FRIDAY NIGHT. GIVEN PROJECTED AIR TEMPERATURES AND WET-BULB  
TEMPERATURES AT THE SURFACE, THE BULK OF PRECIP IS EXPECTED TO FALL  
AS RAIN, BUT WET SNOW IS FORECAST TO MIX WITH RAIN FRIDAY MORNING  
INLAND FROM LAKE ERIE, ESPECIALLY IN THE HIGHER TERRAIN OF NORTHERN  
OH AND NW PA. NO ADDITIONAL SNOW ACCUMULATIONS ARE EXPECTED.  
 
LAKE-ENHANCED RAIN SHOWERS ARE EXPECTED TO TRANSITION TO PURE LAKE-  
EFFECT RAIN SHOWERS ON SATURDAY AS MID-LEVEL MOISTURE PLUMMETS, THE  
SEEDER-FEEDER PROCESS ENDS, AND YET THE LOW-LEVEL ATMOSPHERIC COLUMN  
REMAINS SUFFICIENTLY-COLD/MOIST AND LAKE-INDUCED CAPE REMAINS  
APPRECIABLE. LAKE-EFFECT RAIN SHOWERS ARE FORECAST TO TAPER SATURDAY  
NIGHT AS LOW-LEVEL DRY AIR ADVECTION AND A LOWERING SUBSIDENCE  
INVERSION CAUSE LAKE-INDUCED CAPE TO WANE. THE LAKE-ENHANCED/EFFECT  
SHOWERS ARE EXPECTED IN/NEAR THE SNOWBELT OF NE OH AND NW PA AS MEAN  
LOW-LEVEL FLOW BACKS SLOWLY FROM NW'ERLY TO WNW'ERLY. SUFFICIENT  
NOCTURNAL COOLING AND WET-BULB EFFECT MAY ALLOW A FEW WET SNOWFLAKES  
TO MIX WITH RAIN IN INTERIOR NW PA DURING EARLY SUNDAY MORNING, BUT  
NO SNOW ACCUMULATIONS ARE EXPECTED. ODDS FAVOR FAIR WEATHER OUTSIDE  
THE LAKE-ENHANCED/EFFECT PRECIP SATURDAY THROUGH SATURDAY NIGHT.  
 

 
   
LONG TERM /SUNDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/
 
 
THE NARROW RIDGE AT THE SURFACE AND ALOFT BUILDS E'WARD ACROSS OUR  
CWA ON SUNDAY AND AFTERNOON HIGHS SHOULD REACH THE MID 40'S TO LOWER  
50'S. ODDS FAVOR FAIR WEATHER IN MOST OF OUR CWA DUE TO STABILIZING  
SUBSIDENCE ACCOMPANYING THE RIDGE. LINGERING AND LIGHT LAKE-EFFECT  
RAIN SHOWERS OVER AND GENERALLY EAST OF LAKE ERIE, ACROSS THE  
PRIMARY SNOWBELT AND VICINITY, ARE EXPECTED TO DISSIPATE EARLY  
SUNDAY EVENING AS LAKE-INDUCED INSTABILITY CONTINUES TO WANE VIA LOW-  
LEVEL DRY AIR ADVECTION AND A LOWERING SUBSIDENCE INVERSION.  
 
CYCLONIC W'ERLY TO NW'ERLY FLOW ALOFT, EMBEDDED SHORTWAVE TROUGHS,  
AND NET SURFACE TROUGHING ARE FORECAST TO IMPACT THE EASTERN GREAT  
LAKES AND UPPER OH VALLEY ON SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY. IN  
ADDITION, A SURFACE COLD FRONT IS EXPECTED TO SWEEP E'WARD ACROSS  
OUR CWA MONDAY EVENING THROUGH MONDAY NIGHT. PERIODIC AND SCATTERED  
RAIN SHOWERS ARE EXPECTED TO ACCOMPANY THE SHORTWAVE TROUGHS AND THE  
COLD FRONT. BEHIND THE FRONT, THE LOW-LEVEL AIR MASS IS EXPECTED TO  
BECOME SUFFICIENTLY-COLD/MOIST FOR LAKE-EFFECT RAIN SHOWERS TO  
STREAM GENERALLY E'WARD AND SE'WARD FROM LAKE ERIE. SUFFICIENT LOW-  
LEVEL CAA, NOCTURNAL COOLING, AND WET-BULB EFFECT MAY ALLOW RAIN TO  
MIX WITH WET SNOW TUESDAY MORNING AND WEDNESDAY MORNING, ESPECIALLY  
IN HIGHER TERRAIN INLAND FROM LAKE ERIE. SIGNIFICANT AND IMPACTFUL  
SNOW ACCUMULATIONS ARE NOT EXPECTED AT THIS TIME.  
 
OVERNIGHT LOWS SHOULD REACH MAINLY THE UPPER 30'S TO LOWER 40'S  
AROUND DAYBREAK MONDAY. HIGHS SHOULD REACH MAINLY THE LOWER TO MID  
50'S MONDAY AFTERNOON, BEFORE THE COLD FRONT PASSAGE. OVERNIGHT LOWS  
SHOULD THEN REACH THE MID 30'S TO NEAR 40F AROUND DAYBREAK TUESDAY.  
COOLER AFTERNOON HIGHS IN THE UPPER 30'S TO MID 40'S ARE EXPECTED ON  
TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY, RESPECTIVELY. WEDNESDAY MORNING SHOULD  
FEATURE LOWS IN THE UPPER 20'S TO MID 30'S AROUND DAYBREAK.  
 

 
   
AVIATION /06Z THURSDAY THROUGH MONDAY/
 
 
THE MAIN AVIATION WEATHER MESSAGE WITH THIS TAF UPDATE WILL BE  
CONDITIONS WILL BECOME MORE IMPACTFUL WITH CEILINGS LOWERING AND  
RAIN/SNOW SHOWERS CAUSING REDUCED VISIBILITY LATER THIS MORNING  
AND THROUGHOUT THE REST OF THE DAY. WE ARE STARTING OFF WITH  
MOSTLY VFR CONDITIONS AS OF 06Z THIS EARLY MORNING. CEILINGS  
WILL LOWER TO MVFR AND AT TIMES LOW END MVFR LATER THIS MORNING  
WITH A WAVE OF RAIN/SNOW SHOWERS THAT WILL MOVE IN BY 12Z. THERE  
ARE TEMPO GROUPS HIGHLIGHTING A 4 HOUR WINDOW BETWEEN ROUGHLY 10Z  
AND 16Z AT EACH TAF SITE TO MENTION THE POTENTIAL OF 3SM TO 5SM  
VISIBILITY REDUCTIONS WITH THE LIGHT TO MODERATE RAIN SHOWERS  
MIXING WITH AND EVENTUALLY CHANGING TO MOSTLY SNOW SHOWERS LATER  
THIS MORNING AND LINGERING THROUGH THE REST OF THE DAY INTO THIS  
EVENING. WE HAVE GENERAL CEILINGS LOWERING TO 2500 FEET LATER  
TODAY BUT MENTION SOME TIME PERIODS LATER THIS MORNING WHERE  
IT COULD DROP TO 1500 FEET WITH BANDS OF PRECIPITATION MOVING  
ACROSS THE AREA. WE HAVE THE MENTION OF SCATTERED LIGHT SNOW  
SHOWERS WITH 6SM THROUGH THE AFTERNOON AND EVENING IN ALL TAFS.  
BUT THERE IS A PROB30 GROUP BETWEEN 23Z AND 03Z THIS EVENING  
WHERE WE THERE COULD BE ANOTHER UPTICK OF HEAVIER LAKE EFFECT SNOW  
SHOWERS THAT COULD BRING DOWN CEILINGS AND VISIBILITIES AT  
LOCAL AIRPORTS. WINDS WILL BE GENERALLY FROM THE WEST-SOUTHWEST  
THIS MORNING 8 TO 12 KNOTS WITH A FEW ISOLATED GUSTS UP TO 20  
KNOTS. THAT GUST POTENTIAL WILL MAINLY BE FOR ERI THROUGH THE  
EARLY MORNING. WINDS WILL BECOME MORE WESTERLY LATER IN THE TAF  
PERIOD BETWEEN 5 AND 10 KNOTS.  
 
OUTLOOK...NON-VFR CONDITIONS WILL BE POSSIBLE FRIDAY THROUGH  
SATURDAY IN SCATTERED LAKE EFFECT RAIN SHOWERS, POSSIBLY MIXED  
WITH SNOW SHOWERS AT TIMES EARLY ON FRIDAY. GUSTY WINDS FROM  
THE NORTH AND NORTHWEST UP TO 35 KNOTS WILL ALSO BE POSSIBLE  
FRIDAY THROUGH SATURDAY, ESPECIALLY AREAS CLOSER TO THE  
LAKESHORE AS AS WELL NEOH AND NWPA.  
 

 
   
MARINE
 
 
GALE WARNING IN EFFECT UNTIL LATE THIS EVENING OR VERY EARLY  
THURSDAY MORNING FOR U.S. WATERS EAST OF THE ISLANDS. A SMALL CRAFT  
ADVISORY IS IN EFFECT UNTIL 7 PM EST THURSDAY FOR NEARSHORE WATERS  
FROM MAUMEE BAY TO THE ISLANDS.  
 
A LOW WATER ADVISORY IS IN EFFECT UNTIL 7 AM THURSDAY WEST OF  
VERMILION DUE TO A SEICHE, WHICH WILL LIKELY CAUSE WATER LEVELS TO  
FALL TO VALUES BELOW THE CRITICAL MARK FOR SAFE NAVIGATION (I.E. 3"  
ABOVE LOW WATER DATUM) THIS EVENING THROUGH THE WEE HOURS OF  
THURSDAY MORNING. WATER LEVELS ARE FORECAST TO REBOUND TO ABOVE THE  
CRITICAL MARK BY DAYBREAK THURSDAY.  
 
A TROUGH LINGERS OVER LAKE ERIE FOR THE TIME BEING. WITHIN THIS  
TROUGH, A LOW WILL CONTINUE TO DEEPEN IN VICINITY OF SOUTHERN ON AND  
LAKE HURON THROUGH TONIGHT. A COLD FRONT TRAILING THIS LOW WILL  
CONTINUE TO SWEEP E'WARD ACROSS LAKE ERIE THROUGH THIS EVENING.  
E'ERLY TO S'ERLY WINDS AROUND 5 TO 20 KNOTS AHEAD OF THE FRONT VEER  
TO SW'ERLY TO W'ERLY AND INCREASE TO 25 TO 35 KNOTS IMMEDIATELY  
BEHIND THE FRONT. SEVERAL HOURS AFTER THE FRONT'S PASSAGE, SW'ERLY  
TO W'ERLY WINDS ARE EXPECTED TO EASE TO AROUND 15 TO 25 KNOTS. WAVES  
OF 3 FEET OR LESS AHEAD OF THE FRONT ARE EXPECTED TO BUILD TO AS  
LARGE AS 6 FEET IN THE WESTERN BASIN AND AS LARGE AS 7 TO 14 FEET  
FARTHER EAST. SW'ERLY TO W'ERLY WINDS AROUND 15 TO 25 KNOTS ON  
THURSDAY MORNING ARE EXPECTED TO VEER GRADUALLY TO NW'ERLY LATER  
THURSDAY THROUGH THURSDAY NIGHT AS A TROUGH AXIS SWEEPS SE'WARD  
ACROSS THE LAKE. NW'ERLY WINDS ARE EXPECTED TO REACH 30 KNOTS AT  
TIMES OVER THE CENTRAL BASIN THURSDAY NIGHT. WAVES AS LARGE AS 5 TO  
10 FEET ARE EXPECTED, WHICH WILL WARRANT EVENTUAL SPATIAL EXPANSION  
AND TEMPORAL EXTENSION OF THE SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY.  
 
W'ERLY TO NW'ERLY WINDS AROUND 15 TO 25 KNOTS ARE FORECAST FRIDAY  
THROUGH SATURDAY. THESE WINDS ARE EXPECTED TO BE AS STRONG AS 30  
KNOTS AT TIMES OVER THE CENTRAL BASIN ON FRIDAY. WAVES AS LARGE AS 4  
TO 8 FEET, WITH OCCASIONAL 9 TO 10 FOOTERS, ARE FORECAST. NW'ERLY TO  
W'ERLY WINDS AROUND 15 TO 25 KNOTS SATURDAY EVENING ARE EXPECTED TO  
BACK TO SW'ERLY AND EASE TO AROUND 5 TO 15 KNOTS ON SUNDAY THROUGH  
SUNDAY NIGHT AS A RIDGE BUILDS FROM THE UPPER MIDWEST AND EVENTUALLY  
CRESTS E'WARD ACROSS LAKE ERIE. WAVES SUBSIDE GRADUALLY TO 5 FEET OR  
LESS BY DAYBREAK SUNDAY AND TO 3 FEET OR LESS BY DAYBREAK MONDAY. ON  
MONDAY, THE RIDGE EXITS E'WARD AS A COLD FRONT APPROACHES FROM THE  
UPPER MIDWEST. THIS FRONT SHOULD SWEEP E'WARD ACROSS WESTERN AND  
CENTRAL LAKE ERIE DURING THE EARLY EVENING AND CAUSE SW'ERLY WINDS  
AROUND 10 TO 20 KNOTS TO VEER TO W'ERLY. WAVES ARE FORECAST TO BE  
MAINLY 3 FEET OR LESS, BUT OCCASIONAL 4 FOOTERS ARE POSSIBLE BEHIND  
THE FRONT, ESPECIALLY IN OPEN U.S. WATERS OF THE CENTRAL BASIN.
