URGENT - MARINE WEATHER MESSAGE
National Weather Service Detroit/Pontiac MI
951 PM EST Sun Nov 4 2018

...Gales are possible Tuesday...

.More persistent gale force gusts can be expected through the 
Mackinac Straits this evening into the overnight due to 
enhancement from funneling effects. Hence, a Gale Warning remains 
in effect for far northern Lake Huron. Further south, Small Craft 
Advisories for wind and elevated waves remain in effect for the 
nearshore waters.

A strong low pressure system will lift through the central Great 
Lakes on Tuesday. Widespread southwest gales are likely Tuesday 
through Wednesday as this system passes with some potential for a 
period high end gales conditional on the intensity and exact track 
of this low. After a brief reprieve on Thursday, gales potentially 
return for the end of the week as very cold air wraps east into the 
region around another passing low pressure system.
