.MARINE...
Surface ridge axis has passes east of the area today opening the
door for increased southwesterly flow today with gusts to around 25
knots. Small Craft Advisories are currently in effect for all
nearshore waters for these winds. A low pressure system over Ontario
has a cold front draped southward through WI at the moment. A strong
low level jet in advance of the front will force a warm front up
through the region this evening as the low level jet then noses into
the area, up to 50 knots over Lake Erie and 40 knots up to Saginaw
Bay, before pushing off to the east tonight. Unfavorable
southwesterly flow and nocturnal timing make widespread gales
unlikely with this jet but a couple gusts to gales remain possible.
The cold front then passes through early Wednesday bringing another
period of increased winds out of the northwest. As previously
mentioned, the background wind field aloft remain on the low side
peaking around 35 to 40 knots and the thermal trough is also not
very cold cutting into instability and mixing depths. So continues
to be a marginal setup for northwesterly gales during the daytime
Wednesday so will hold off on any gale headlines. Nearshore zones,
however, will see an extended period of Small Craft Advisory
conditions as several episodes of elevated wind/wave action are
expected through Thursday. Quieter conditions then prevail to start
the weekend.
