Synopsis: A weak ridge of high pressure extends from north of Madeira SW over the Central Atlantic thru 25N/50W. This ridge will shift E and weaken thru the 02/12. A trough of low pressure extends from W of the Windward Islands NE thru 20N/55W. This trough will move W over the Virgin Islands/Puerto Rico thru tonight, then weaken over Hispaniola on the 02/12. On the 03/12, a stronger ridge will build from new high pressure over the Azores SW thru the E Caribbean. The ridge will shift E to extend from the Bay of Biscay SW over the Azores and thru the Central Atlantic thru 25N/60W on the 04/12. This ridge will shift S thru the 06/12, extending from 25N/60W E thru Madeira on the 06/12. Conclusion: Moderate trade winds will persist over the area for the next few days. Winds are expected to be more N of E on the E most forecast grids and slightly S of E on the W most forecast grids. Over the next few days, the larges swell are expected on the S sides of the forecast grids with the highest overall swell in grid RR. Swell will gradually build across the forecast area on the 02/12 and 03/12 as the ridging strengthens. II: T+0: WINDS ESE-ENE 10-15KTS. SEAS 2-3 SWELLS N-NE 4-6FT (8SEC). CURRENTS FROM NNE @ 0.2KTS.
