FALL TO 25 PERCENT OR LESS INLAND...AND NEAR TO 30 PERCENT OR HIGHER
CLOSER TO THE LAKESHORES. THE LAKE BREEZE SHOULD SHIFT WINDS ONSHORE
ALONG THE LAKE HURON AND LAKE ST CLAIR SHORELINES THIS

NORTHWEST WIND COMPONENT NEAR LAKE ERIE TO EITHER PREVENT THE LAKE

GRADIENT TRIES TO FIGHT THE LAKE BREEZE OFF. A COLD FRONT WILL DROP
ACROSS LOWER MICHIGAN TONIGHT AND THURSDAY. THIS WILL BRING HIGHER
