Things still generally good

Synopsis...A series of low pressure centers spinning near Hudson Bay will provide periods of increased cloud cover with a slight chance of rain showers the next few days. Winds should stay generally light, with the exception of the eastern Davis Strait where winds will once again be picking up on Thursday due to a low pressure passing well to the south.

Thursday...Mostly cloudy, with a slight chance of rain showers. Variable winds of less than 10 knots, except northerly winds picking up in the eastern strait to around 20 knots late. Air temperatures ranging from 3-6 deg C, coolest toward the west. Significant wave heights less than 1 meter, except possibly reaching 1 meter by days end in the eastern strait.

Friday...Mostly cloudy. Isolated rain showers not out of the question. Variable winds less than 15 knots except in the eastern strait where they could be sustained at 20-25 knots out of the north. Significant wave heights could reach over 2 meters in the extreme southeastern strait, and remaining less than 1 meter west. Air temperatures 2-5 deg C.

Outlook...Eyes will be on the latest forecast model runs of a large low pressure system to possibly affect the area Monday. Uncertainty is still high at this time, however it has been in 2 consecutive model runs.
