| Leg 2 - Bermuda to Azores - 25 May |
|
PREPARED: MAY 25 09:11Z
SYNOPSIS: RIDGING EXTENDS W-SW ACROSS THE CENTRAL ATLANTIC TOWARDS 60W
BETWEEN 35N AND 18N FROM HIGH PRESSURE CENTERED NEAR 35N/35W. RIDGING
EXTENDED TO THE SW-W WILL REMAIN IN PLACE TODAY AND TOMORROW, THEN MERGE
WITH WEAKER HIGH PRESSURE FROM THE W ATLANTIC BY EARLY 27TH. RIDGING
REMAINS IN PLACE INTO THE 30TH AS THE DOMINATING HIGH SLOWLY DRIFTS NE
OVER THE AZORES THROUGH THIS TIME.
MINIMAL GALE NEAR 39N/63W WILL WEAKEN BACK INTO A LOW WHILE MOVING NE
TOWARDS 47N/48W (EAST OF NEWFOUNDLAND) THROUGH VERY EARLY 27TH.
ASSOCIATED COLD FRONT WILL EXTEND SW FROM NEAR 40N/50W TOWARDS 33N/59W
BY VERY EARLY TOMORROW MORNING, SWEEPING NE TO EXTEND ALONG 45W FROM 43N
TO 35N BY EARLY 27TH. FRONT CONTINUES E TOWARDS 35W WHILE WEAKENING
THROUGH MIDDAY 28TH, DISSIPATING BEFORE REACHING THE AZORES.
CONCLUSION: HIGH PRESSURE WILL CONTINUE TO LEAD TO VERY LIGHT CONDITIONS
ALONG GRIDS KK, MM, AND OO THROUGH THE NEXT FEW DAYS. FRONTAL PASSAGE
DESCRIBED ABOVE WILL BRING A BRIEF INCREASE IN WINDS TO GRIDS EE, GG,
AND II AS FORECAST BELOW. HIGHER WINDS WILL STILL BE FOUND IN THE N
GRIDS, WITH WINDS TENDING HIGHEST ACROSS THE N PORTIONS OF THESE GRIDS.
FRONTAL PASSAGE THROUGH GRIDS FF, HH, AND JJ WILL BE ASSOCIATED WITH
MODERATE TO LARGE SWELL, AND SHOULD BE WATCHED CLOSELY.
