*** Weather Office Canada has discontinued all gale warnings for the northern Brevoort Seas and Davis Strait ***

* Attached is a satellite image of the low pressure (red arrow points to it), its forecast track (green arrow), and the approximate area where the Knorr is located now (blue circle). The low is wound up pretty nicely and almost has an eye. The strongest winds are being reported south and southeast of its center, with reports of 50+ knot winds. *

Synopsis...A low pressure of ~977 mb is currently located at ~63N,63W, and is moving to the southeast. Strongest winds are to the south of the low center, while winds of ~30 knots are being reported on the northwest side. Conditions will slowly start to improve as the low moves away.

The rest of today, tonight, and Friday...Northerly winds of 30-35 knots near the Baffin Island coast are expected to continue until about 03 UTC tonight (9/19). Otherwise winds will become northerly everywhere but will still be around 20 knots through tomorrow (Friday). Scattered rain, sleet, or snow showers, with peaks of sun (or stars) becoming more frequent. Significant wave heights of 3+ meters possible, especially south, but decreasing to 1-2 meters Friday. Air temperatures ranging from 1 deg C northwest to 6 deg C southeast.

Saturday...Partly cloudy, increasing clouds late. Light and variable winds early, northerly winds may pick late as a low pressure moves closer to the area. The low pressure is currently forecast to miss the area, but will keep an eye on it. Cool with air temperatures ranging from 0-4 deg C.
