For waters beyond five nautical miles of shore on Lake Erie

Waves are the significant wave height - the average of the highest 1/3 of the wave spectrum. Occasional wave height is the average of the highest 1/10 of the wave spectrum.

SYNOPSIS

A high pressure ridge averaging 30.00 inches builds southward across Lake Erie through Thursday. A warm front moves generally northward across the lake Thursday night through Friday morning. Behind the front, Lake Erie should reside along the western flank of the aforementioned ridge through Monday as the ridge averages 29.95 inches over the lake. However, a weak low of 29.80 inches should wobble eastward across the Ohio Valley on Saturday before wobbling southeastward to Atlantic waters near the Carolinas on Sunday through Monday.
