827 WHUS73 KDTX 150743 MWWDTX URGENT - MARINE WEATHER MESSAGE National Weather Service Detroit/Pontiac MI 343 AM EDT Mon Oct 15 2018 ...NORTHWEST GALES TODAY FOLLOWED BY SOUTHWEST GALES TUESDAY... .An active period of marine wind and wave conditions is set to unfold through mid week as two main low pressure systems and associated fronts affect the central Great Lakes. The first is a cold front moving through early today which brings gusty northwest wind to all marine areas. A Gale Warning remains in effect for the open waters of Lake Huron north of Harbor Beach and a Small Craft Advisory remains in effect for all other marine areas. A diminishing trend of only a few hours occurs overnight as the next low pressure system approaches the northern Great Lakes. Northwest wind quickly backs to southwest and strengthens rapidly to gales again by early Tuesday morning. The cold air mass remains in residence during this time and maintains an unstable thermal profile over Lake Huron and Saginaw Bay as the wind ramps up. Southwest wind gusts of 35 to 40 knots are likely again across the open waters of Lake Huron north of Harbor Beach but also including Saginaw Bay. The Gale Warning is therefore extended through Tuesday for Lake Huron and transitions from a Small Craft Advisory tonight to a Gale Warning Tuesday for Saginaw Bay. The associated cold front moves through the central Great Lakes Tuesday night with northwest wind gusting mainly around 30 knots with a few gusts to marginal gales possible over central Lake Huron through Wednesday.

667 WHUS73 KDTX 151952 MWWDTX URGENT - MARINE WEATHER MESSAGE National Weather Service Detroit/Pontiac MI 352 PM EDT Mon Oct 15 2018 ...Gusts to gales through Tuesday... .Post frontal westerly winds gusts will top out around 35 knot gales across much of Lake Huron late this afternoon and early this evening within strong post frontal cold air advection. There will be an overall weakening trend to the winds overnight as the gradient relaxes and the cold air advection eases. Another cold front will approach the Great Lakes from the west Tuesday morning. The result will be a backing of the winds to the southwest. Ample low level cold air will support decent over-lake mixing depths so that wind speeds will increase. There is reasonably high confidence that gusts will once again top 35 knots gales on Lake Huron, with the strongest winds expected across Saginaw Bay out into the middle of Lake Huron. The cold front will traverse Lake Huron Tues afternoon and evening, resulting in a veering of the winds to the west-northwest. The front will mark another push of cold air, keeping winds elevated through the day Wednesday. There is actually another chance for gale force gusts on the open waters of Lake Huron Wednesday. A fairly active weather pattern in terms of wind speeds will persist across the lakes well into the weekend as yet another strong cold front is forecast to impact the area Friday night.

999 WHUS73 KDTX 160202 MWWDTX URGENT - MARINE WEATHER MESSAGE National Weather Service Detroit/Pontiac MI 1002 PM EDT Mon Oct 15 2018 ...Gusts to gales through Tuesday... .Post frontal westerly winds gusts will top out around 35 knot gales across much of Lake Huron through early tonight within strong post frontal cold air advection. There will then be a brief weakening trend Tuesday morning as the gradient relaxes and the cold air advection eases. Another cold front will approach the Great Lakes from the west Tuesday morning. The result will be a backing of the winds to the southwest. Ample low level cold air will support decent over-lake mixing depths so that wind speeds will increase. There is reasonably high confidence that gusts will once again top 35 knots gales on Lake Huron, with the strongest winds expected across Saginaw Bay out into the middle of Lake Huron. The cold front will traverse Lake Huron Tues afternoon and evening, resulting in a veering of the winds to the west-northwest. The front will mark another push of cold air, keeping winds elevated through the day Wednesday. There is actually another chance for gale force gusts on the open waters of Lake Huron Wednesday. A fairly active weather pattern in terms of wind speeds will persist across the lakes well into the weekend as yet another strong cold front is forecast to impact the area Friday night.

The wind will now shift southwest and increase again into the 35 to 40 knot gale range through today affecting mainly Saginaw Bay along with central and northern Lake Huron. Gale Warnings remain in effect through this evening for Saginaw Bay and Lake Huron north of Harbor Beach. Small Craft Advisories remain in effect for all other marine areas through western Lake Erie. Gales subside to gusts around 30 knots by mid evening through the overnight as the pressure gradient relaxes in the vicinity of the cold front moving through the central Great Lakes.

Given the lengthy break tonight, and some uncertainty on timing and magnitude Wednesday, a Gale Watch has been issued for central and northern Lake Huron for Wednesday into Wednesday evening. High pressure then builds into the Ohio valley and southern Great Lakes for a short time through Thursday before the active weather pattern resumes with another strong cold front Friday night.

Gale Warnings remain in effect through this evening for Saginaw Bay and Lake Huron north of Harbor Beach. Small Craft Advisories remain in effect for all other marine areas through western Lake Erie. Gales subside to gusts around 30 knots by mid evening through the overnight as the pressure gradient relaxes in the vicinity of the cold front moving through the central Great Lakes.
