Expected Conditions
A low pressure system over southern Hudson Bay is combining with an unstable environment, creating conditions for severe thunderstorms capable of producing squalls with gusts up to 40 kts, frequent lightning, hail, and poor visibility. Poor to very poor visibility may contribute to voyage delays and make marine navigation hazardous. Large hail can damage vessels and cause injury.
