Near term forecast: Weak high pressure moves in early tomorrow, between today’s low pressure system and the next storm, which will make for nice sailing tomorrow. There is still a chance (40% according to Environment Canada) of light rain showers tonight. Accumulation should be pretty low, near 0.01″, if you see anything at all. Current radar for your position looks clear; this’ll probably be the last time I tell you anything about radar for the next week, as you are about to row out of the range of any radars for a while. The low tonight will be in the upper thirties Fahrenheit (around 3-5*C). Winds will be brisk tonight and tomorrow in advance of the next storm; Environment Canada has a “strong wind warning” out for Johnstone Strait tonight and tomorrow. The highest winds (~25 knots) will come tomorrow afternoon.
Next few days: The next storm moves in Tuesday night, and will bring strong winds (15-25+ knots), and rain for most of Wednesday. Rain will taper off by late Wednesday evening, and winds should lessen (down to ~10 knots) for a few hours before the approach of the next storm early Thursday morning. Winds will then pick up again.
Winds:
Now: 9PM-11PM: SSW-erly winds, 5-10 knots, winds will start to pick up around midnight.
6 hours from now: 3AM: 10-15+ knots, from the SE. Winds will stay from the SE for much of tonight/tomorrow. As long as the winds are SE-erly, they will be aligned with Johnstone Strait: winds may be “funneled” by the channel and even higher than our 12-km WRF weather model suggests. Sadly, our higher-resolution models do not quite reach as far north as you are now, so I can’t see the finer-scale winds to confirm this.
9 hours from now: 6 AM: 15-20+ knots, from the SE. Winds aligned with Johnstone/Broughton Strait also mean it will be aligned with the currents. I expect that sea conditions will be rough when the current is against you and the winds are with you.
12 hours from now: 9 AM: 15-25 knots, still from the SE.
