Good weather this weekend

Synopsis...a ridge of high pressure will be building south of the strait this weekend, cutting off the pressure gradient and winds.

The rest of today...Mostly cloudy with some light snow showers possible. Windy southeast of the strait near the Greenland coast. Winds ranging from 10 knots in the far western strait near Baffin Island to over 40 knots near the Greenland coast south of the strait. Winds will be diminishing tonight everywhere.

Saturday and Sunday....Calmer weather and lighter winds with winds dropping to generally 10 knots or less in most areas. A low pressure will move into Baffin Bay Sunday, but the impact on the Davis Strait looks minimal at this time.
