Synopsis: Good day. A broad ridge of high pressure is currently in place across the n Atlantic, extending s to 20N. The ridge will gradually broaden and weaken through the 16/12. A strong area of high pressure centered in the w Atlantic will weaken while tracking se to 25N/60W through the 17/12. A gale is centered near 35N/30W. This gale will slowly broaden and weaken ne toward Ireland through the 16/12. A second gale will develop near 45N/35W on the 16/12 and track ENE to Scotland while strengthening through the 18/12. A gale will develop over Nova Scotia on the 16/12 and strengthen into a storm while tracking e across the n Atlantic, reaching 25W by the 19/12. Conclusion: E trades are expected to persist across the Lesser Antilles through tomorrow, averaging 12-17kts while swells out of the NE average 4-6 feet. These conditions will persist through tomorrow as high pressure ridging remains in p lace. By the 17/12, an easing trend is expected to commence as the broadening and weak high pressure ridging centers itself across the region. T = 14/12 0600 UTC SKIES PRTLY CLDY in all forecasted areas.
