PREPARED: JUNE 16 03:51Z FM: WEATHER ROUTING INC. (WRI) SYNOPSIS: GOOD DAY. A HIGH PRESSURE RIDGE EXTENDS NE'WARD FROM NEAR 35W AND THROUGH THE AZORES TO THE BAY OF BISCAY AND BRITISH ISLES. THIS RIDGE WILL MOVE LITTLE AND REMAIN MODERATELY-STRONG TODAY THROUGH THE MORNING OF THE 18TH. FARTHER SOUTH, A DEVELOPING LOW IS CENTERED NEAR CAPE SAINT VINCENT, PORTUGAL AND RESIDES WITHIN A THERMAL TROUGH OF LOW PRESSURE COVERING MOROCCO AND S'RN IBERIA. THIS LOW WILL STRENGTHEN SLIGHTLY AS IT MOVES WNW'WARD TO WATERS NEAR 40N/15W BY THE MORNING OF THE 18TH. SIMULTANEOUSLY, THE THERMAL TROUGH OF LOW PRESSURE WILL WEAKEN GRADUALLY. CONCLUSION: WINDS WILL TEND W'LY IN ZONES CCC AND DDD TODAY THROUGH THE MORNING OF THE 18TH IN RESPONSE TO THE DEVELOPING LOW NEAR SW'RN PORTUGAL. SIMULTANEOUSLY, WINDS WILL TEND STRONGEST AND NE'LY-E'LY ACROSS ZONES HHH AND III IN RESPONSE TO THE HIGH PRESSURE RIDGE INTERACTING WITH THE AFOREMENTIONED LOW. SWELLS WILL BE SHORT IN PERIOD ACROSS ALL ZONES AND TEND HIGHEST (UP TO 5-8 FEET) IN ZONES CCC, HHH, AND III DUE TO THE RIDGE/LOW INTERACTION.
