Marine weather advisory in effect
Pointe à Michel to Pointe-des-Monts
Issued 9:29 PM EST 01 February 2023 A vigorous cold front will sweep through the Saguenay River and the St Lawrence Estuary overnight Thursday night or early Friday morning. As it passes, westerly winds rapidly exceeding 50 knots could develop. Depending on ice development and movement over the next few days, waves caused by these strong winds could produce freezing spray over ice free areas.These conditions are expected to persist until Saturday.
The sudden onset of conditions favourable for the development of storm force winds, very poor visibilities in flurries and freezing spray, as well as the duration of these conditions, could make boating difficult.
