Polar Weather Outlook Bob Nekaro Weather Center Raleigh NC 700 PM EST Mon Nov 5 2018

For the Arctic basin:

1. An area of low pressure is located over the southeastern Labrador Sea. Snow shower activity with this system continues to gradually become better organized, and environmental conditions are expected to remain conducive for development for the next several days. Surface observations indicate that the low-level circulation is gradually becoming better defined, and a polar depression or storm is expected to form tonight or on Tuesday morning while the system moves northwestward into the Davis Strait.


 * Formation chance within 48 hours..high...90 percent
 * Formation chance within 5 days...high...near 100 percent

2. A well-defined, small low pressure system over the Baffin Bay continues to produce a concentrated area of snow shower activity. Some slow development is likely during the day or so, and a polar depression is likely to form tonight or on Tuesday before before upper-level winds become hostile for additional development by the middle of the week.


 * Formation chance within 48 hours..high...70 percent
 * Formation chance within 5 days...high...70 percent
