SYNOPSIS

Lake Erie will be between high pressure 30.50 inches to the north and a front to the south. High pressure will move east and the front will lift north as a warm front tonight, as low pressure 29.50 inches develops over the central United States and moves northeast toward the Great Lakes. This low will track through the region on Monday and extend a cold front across the lake. High pressure 30.20 inches will enter for Tuesday and slide east on Wednesday. A warm front will cross the lake on Thursday.
