Synopsis...A weak low pressure moving out of the Hudson Strait will be enough to increase southerly winds in the western Davis Strait on late Friday and throughout Saturday. A possible stronger low pressure is forecast to hit the region Monday or Tuesday.
Friday...While 20-25 knot winds out of the north in the southeastern Davis strait will be gradually diminishing, southerly winds will start to increase in the western strait in response to a weak low pressure. Skies will be mostly cloudy with a slight chance of an isolated rain shower. Air temperatures about 2-5 deg C.
Saturday...Windy in the western Davis Strait, with southerly winds increasing to 20-30 knots. Winds weakest in the eastern strait, with magnitudes of about 5-10 knots. Rain showers are also likely. Air temperatures about 2-5 deg C. Significant wave heights possibly 1-2 meters in the western strait.
Outlook...Still watching a possible major low pressure system to affect the area early next week which may be the remnants of hurricane Ike. Forecast uncertainty is high at this time.
