Synopsis....a gale warning is currently in effect for the eastern Davis Strait (see the area circled red on yesterday's forecast labeled 'Gale force winds expected'). Winds will peak today around 13 UTC, then gradually die down. There will be a break in the winds for about a 12 hour period overnight tonight. Then winds (not as strong as today) will be picking up throughout the day Saturday lasting into Sunday.
*** Gale warning in the eastern Davis Strait for today ***
Rest of today....Windy, especially in the eastern Davis Strait with light rain or snow showers. Strongest winds in the eastern strait, where winds will be sustained at 35 knots from the south with the strongest winds around 13 UTC. Winds will diminish to about 20 knots by 00 UTC. Weakest winds will be in the western strait near Baffin Island, where winds will be about 15 knots. There should be a period where the winds drop to around 10 knots or less in all regions of the strait from about 00 UTC tonight (Oct 6) to 12 UTC Saturday (Oct. 6).
Saturday...a strengthening low pressure well south of the region will still manage to kick up winds again and a chance of snow showers as well. Northerly winds will be increasing in all regions of the Davis Strait to about 25 knots around 18 UTC.
Outlook...it may take the better part of the day before winds of around 25 knots diminish. High pressure will slowly be building in, so there is hope in sight for some calm weather.
