PREPARED: MAY 21 09:46Z
FM: WEATHER ROUTING INC. (WRI)

FORECAST FOR ARC EUROPE LEG 2 FROM BERMUDA TO AZORES

SYNOPSIS: GOOD DAY. A HIGH PRESSURE RIDGE EXTENDS ENE'WARD FROM NEAR 65W TO THE
AZORES, BETWEEN ABOUT 25N AND 35N. THIS RIDGE WILL MOVE LITTLE TODAY THROUGH
THE MORNING OF THE 23RD. FARTHER NORTH, A DEVELOPING LOW IS CENTERED NEAR
40N/62.5W. THIS LOW WILL STRENGTHEN SLIGHTLY AS IT MOVES NE'WARD TOWARD
NEWFOUNDLAND BY THE MORNING OF THE 23RD, WHEN THE CYCLONIC CIRCULATION OF THE
LOW WILL COVER WATERS FROM ABOUT 35N TO NEWFOUNDLAND, BETWEEN NOVA SCOTIA AND
ABOUT 50W. 

CONCLUSION: THE INTERACTION BETWEEN THE RIDGE AND LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM WILL
RESULT IN STRONGER AND GUSTIER WINDS ACROSS THE N'RN GRIDS, WHILE THE HIGH
PRESSURE RIDGE WILL PROMOTE RELATIVELY LIGHTER WEATHER/SEA CONDITIONS ACROSS
THE S'RN GRIDS. SWELL DIRECTION WILL VARY THROUGHOUT THE GRIDS. HOWEVER, SWELLS
WILL REMAIN SHORT IN PERIOD TODAY THROUGH THE MORNING OF THE 23RD.
