.DISCUSSION...
Northeast winds continue overnight and through Sunday. Winds
should continue to calm through Sunday morning, and wave heights
should steadily come down. As wind driven waves decrease,
lingering wave swell may persist. There is a 20 percent chance for
an isolated rain shower, and some lightning could be possible
(around a 5% chance in any shower that develops). The best
chance for any precipitation is around midnight, decreasing
through the early morning hours. Water surface temperatures should
stay steady in the mid 60s and may slightly warm further. Some
patchy fog could develop through the early morning hours. For
enroute and areal forecasts please contact NWS Duluth MN.
