A low pressure trough that passed the forecast waters last night will continue moving eastward into the North Atlantic this morning. Following it, a ridge extending northward from a high centre currently near Sable Island will track eastward and pass through thearea this evening. Winds will diminish to variable light as the high centre nears and change to moderate southerlies behind it. A newfrontal trough developing over western Ontario is expected to work eastward across Newfoundland late Friday or early Saturday andwill pass through the site near noon on Saturday. Strong SSE to SSW winds will prevail over the forecast waters as this frontaltrough approaches. To the south, a weak wave will develop and move northeastward pushing an associated warm front towards thearea. Mist and fog are expected to develop late on Friday under these systems.
