Hopefully you can see the map I attached. I circled 3 areas in red, labeled (1), (2), and (3). Those are the areas that will see the strongest winds and roughest seas. (1) Southerly winds ahead of the low pressure system will pick up here in the eastern Davis Strait around 21 UTC today (Oct. 1) and will last for about 12 hours. Sustained winds will be up to 35 knots with higher gusts. Significant wave heights will be 5-6 meters. Also expect the most precipitation here during this time, probably in the form of snow.
(2) Westerly winds sustained at 40 knots out of the Hudson Strait will be picking up at about 00 UTC Oct. 2 and lasting until 00 UTC Oct. 3. Gale warnings are in place here. Significant wave heights of 5-6 meters expected.
(3) Northerly winds sustained at 30-35 knots with higher gusts on the back side of the low pressure will pick up in the west Davis Strait last, probably around 15 UTC on Oct. 2. Signifcant wave heights of 6-8 meters expected. Winds will gradually diminish Oct. 3, dropping to below 20 knots around 12 UTC Oct. 3. Expect scattered light snow showers as here during this time as well.
