WESTERN LAKES WEDNESDAY AND ACROSS ALL OF THE LAKES ON THURSDAY.  
YET ANOTHER LOW WILL DIVE SOUTHEAST ACROSS THE NORTHERN AND CENTRAL 
LAKES FRIDAY.  A COLD FRONT TRAILING THIS LOW WILL SWEEP EAST ACROSS 
THE REGION BY FRIDAY EVENING.  A TROUGH WILL LINGER OVER THE EASTERN 
LAKES SATURDAY WHILE A RIDGE IS EXPECTED TO BUILD OVER THE WESTERN

WEST TO NORTHWEST GALE FORCE WINDS WILL DEVELOP ON ALL OF THE LAKES 
TONIGHT.  WINDS WILL DIMINISH LATE TONIGHT INTO TUESDAY.  WINDS WILL 
BECOME NORTHERLY ON LAKE SUPERIOR TUESDAY AND NORTHWEST TUESDAY

EXPECTED ACROSS THE CENTRAL LAKES.  SLOW ICE FORMATION CAN BE 
EXPECTED ON LAKE ERIE DURING THE PERIOD...ESPECIALLY IN THE WESTERN 
BASIN.  STRONG WINDS WILL CAUSE SOME SHIFTING OF EXISTING ICE FIELDS 
THE NEXT 24 HOURS.  

NORMAL TEMPERATURES FOR SELECTED LOCATIONS AROUND THE GREAT LAKES FOR
THE PERIOD DECEMBER 29 2008 THROUGH JANUARY 05 2009:

WINDS HAVE OPENED MUCH OF THE WESTERN BASIN OF LAKE ERIE.  ICE WAS 
OBSERVED FROM JUST EAST OF THE ENTRANCE TO THE DETROIT RIVER TO 
PELEE POINT.  THE ICE FIELD EXTENDS SOUTH TO NEAR PELEE ISLAND. 
SHORE ICE WAS VISIBLE FROM PELEE POINT EAST TO RONDEAU. SATELLITE 
ALSO SHOWED THAT RECENT STRONG WINDS HAVE OPENED UP THE CENTRAL 
PORTION OF SAGINAW BAY.  ICE WAS ALSO OBSERVED ON MUCH OF LAKE ST.
