PREPARED: JUNE 15 03:30Z FM: WEATHER ROUTING INC. (WRI) SYNOPSIS: GOOD DAY. A HIGH PRESSURE RIDGE EXTENDS NE'WARD FROM NEAR 25W AND THROUGH THE AZORES/MADEIRA TO THE BAY OF BISCAY AND BRITISH ISLES. THIS RIDGE WILL REMAIN MODERATELY-STRONG AND MOVE LITTLE TODAY THROUGH THE MORNING OF THE 17TH. FARTHER EAST, A THERMAL TROUGH OF LOW PRESSURE COVERS MOROCCO, GIBRALTAR STRAIT, AND W'RN IBERIA. THIS NEARLY-STATIONARY THERMAL TROUGH WILL MOVE LITTLE AS IT REMAINS MODERATELY-STRONG TODAY THROUGH THE 16TH AND THEN BEGINS TO WEAKEN ON THE 17TH. A LOW IS EXPECTED TO DEVELOP WITHIN THE THERMAL TROUGH, NEAR CAPE SAINT VINCENT, PORTUGAL, EARLY ON THE 17TH AND THEN STRENGTHEN GRADUALLY AS IT TRACKS WNW'WARD TOWARD THE AZORES LATER ON THE 17TH. CONCLUSION: WINDS ARE EXPECTED TO TEND HIGHEST IN ZONES CCC, HHH, AND III DUE TO THE INTERACTION BETWEEN THE RIDGE AND THERMAL TROUGH TODAY THROUGH THE MORNING OF THE 17TH. SIMULTANEOUSLY, WINDS WILL TEND LIGHTEST IN ZONE DDD, ESPECIALLY ALONG/NEAR THE S'RN COAST OF PORTUGAL, DUE TO THE REGION'S PROXIMITY TO THE AXIS OF THE THERMAL TROUGH AND EVENTUAL WEAKENING OF SAID TROUGH. LASTLY, SHORT-PERIOD SWELLS WILL TEND HIGHEST (UP TO 6-9 FEET) IN ZONE CCC AND LOWER (GENERALLY 3-6 FEET) IN ZONES DDD, HHH, AND III.
