Synopsis
Large high pres will remain anchored in the vicinity of Quebec right into the weekend. At the same time, a slow moving and intensifying ocean storm will retrograde towards the coast this weekend. While its exact track and timing remains uncertain, dangerous conditions are expected for mariners later this week into the weekend. NE wind gusts of 35 to 55 knots with seas potentially building 15-20+ feet by the weekend. Mariners should keep up to date with the latest forecasts and be prepared to return to port.
