1/3 of the wave spectrum. Occasional wave height is the average of

.SYNOPSIS...

A ridge averaging 30.40 inches affects Lake Erie through Sunday 

as the embedded high pressure center moves from just northeast of 

Lake Superior to southwestern Quebec. During Sunday night through

this Wednesday, a low is expected to wobble generally eastward and

then northeastward from the Lower Mississippi Valley to Atlantic

waters well east of the Delmarva Peninsula and south of Nantucket.

Simultaneously, a trough extending from this low is expected to

impact Lake Erie and average 30.10 inches over the lake. By this

Wednesday, a ridge averaging 30.20 inches attempts to build from

the north-central United States and James Bay area.
