.SYNOPSIS...

Saturday and pick up a bit as low pressure around 29.7 inches
works its way up the Ohio River Valley through the day Saturday.
Accompanying this system will be bands of snow/wintry mix across
the northern half of the Lake. By Saturday night winds will turn
more north then northwesterly as the low pressure pushes further
east. High pressure around 30.6 inches begins to build across the
Upper Midwest for Sunday before spreading into the western Great
Lakes early next week.
