Synopsis:A low pressure will be moving up Hudson Bay towards Baffin Island Thursday and Friday. Winds will be shifting to a southeasterly (from the southeast) direction and increasing in strength. They will reach Gale strength in the "Brevoort" region circled in red on the map on Thursday, lasting through Friday.
Thursday....Southeasterly winds increasing everywhere. Winds will be strongest south of the Davis Strait where Gale Warnings are in place (the red circled region on the map). Winds there will be sustained at around 35 knots. Winds in the Davis Strait will be sustained at up to 20 knots at times. Mostly cloudy skies with rain or snow possible late. Temperatures near 0 degrees C.
Friday....a weak low pressure may develop near the mouth of the Hudson Strait. This will increase the southerly winds in the east Brevoort region, and increase the northerly winds in the west Brevoort region. Strongest winds expected in the east Brevoort region with sustained winds up to 40 knots. Southeasterly winds increasing to 25-30 knots in the Davis Strait. Significant wave heights of 4-6 meters expected in the Davis Strait. Snow likely everywhere, then possibly changing to rain or mixing with rain.
