Seen those charts on Hurricane Isabel? If it tracks as they think it will we will be in for a wild and wooly weekend. Nothin like hurricane remnants in Michigan. Last time a hurricane headed this way, the strong east winds were washing the waves 40 ft up the beach in Maumee (Eire/Toledo). We will see what happens.
Looks like NOAA has a new graphical web site for great lakes wind. Check out: http://www.crh.noaa.gov/dtx/?page=marine
