ARC+ Weather forecast 29/11/2015

Synopsis:  Good day.  A broad high pressure centered east of the Azores extends SW across the Central Atlantic thru the E Caribbean.  The ridging E of 50W will weaken during the next 3 days as the high center moves SE toward NW Africa. Farther W, a trough extending from 15N/75W NE

thru Hispaniola to just W of Bermuda will move W and extend from W of Jamaica NE thru the S Bahamas on the morning of the 01/12.

On the 01/12, a cold front will extend from 45N/30W SW thru 30N/50W. The front will drift SE to extend from 40N/15W SW thru 25N/50W on the 03/12.  A trough of low pressure will develop along the S end of this front and extend from 25N/40W NE to 30N/30W on the 03/12. The trough is forecast to drift W and weaken thru the 05/12.      

The next high pressure will be centered S of the Canadian Maritimes on the 01/12 and move E toward the W Azores thru the 03rd.  An associated ridge will build SW thru the E Caribbean on the 03/12/0412.

Conclusion: The strongest winds and seas today will be found in grid QQ due to an enhanced area of the broad high pressure ridge in place across the region. Swells in grid QQ will build to 10 feet thruout the day today, along with winds gusting to 25kts before an easing trend overnight lowers conditions back down to 10-15kts thru tomorrow from E to W. E trades will then

persist across all grids thru tomorrow evening as the ridging continues to weaken across the central Atlantic.
