415 PM EST Sat Nov 7 2026
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...Pressure falls from 30.0 inches over Lake Superior this afternoon to
29.6 inches tonight as a 29.5 inch low crosses northern Ontario.
This low gets absorbed into a 29.3 inch low over the Canadian
Maritimes by Sunday evening, allowing 30.0 inch ridging to return
over Lake Superior Sunday night. By Monday morning, a 29.6 inch low
will move over Lake Winnipeg, weakening to 29.7 inches as it moves
over northern Ontario and brings 29.8 inch troughing over Lake
Superior Monday night. This trough shifts east into Quebec Tuesday
through Wednesday as 30.4 inch high pressure builds over Manitoba
and Ontario.
