Synopsis...A low pressure over the Davis Strait has moved southeast and merged with a low pressure near the southern tip of Greenland. This is allowing pressure gradients to strengthen rapidly and northerly winds to increase to gale strength.
*** GALE WARNING IN EFFECT FOR ALL AREAS THROUGH THURSDAY ***
The rest of today...Northerly winds increasing to gale strength. Cold with light snow showers likely.
Thursday...Very windy and cold. Sustained northerly winds expected to exceed 40 knots late. The strongest winds will be in the western strait near Baffin Island. Significant wave heights could reach 6-8 meters, especially in the western strait.
Outlook...Sustained winds of 35-40 knots is expected to continue into Friday.
