Synopsis: HIGH PRESSURE ridging centered near 40N/40W, extends from the Leeward, NE'ward across the W'rn Azores, and from there E'ward across the Canaries towards Morocco. This area of HIGH PRESSURE ridging will lift slightly N'ward towards 55N through the early hours of today, before moving slowly SE'ward towards the Azores through the 23 while broadening, and extending from NW'rn Africa, NW'ward across the Azores. This ridging will then remain mostly stationary through the 25 while broadening and weakening across the Central Atlantic, from the Canaries W'ward towards Florida.An equatorial open wave trough is centered west of the Cape Verde Islands, and extends from 15N/30W, NW'ward towards 25N/50W. This trough is forecast to slowly move towards 35W through the 21, where it will stall and remain generally stationary and weak through 25 where thereafter it is expected to gradually weaken through the rest of the week.
Conclusion: Primary concern initially will be higher conditions across Zones CC, W'rn/N'rn Zone BB, and N'rn Zone AA. Due to the through interactions with the high pressure ridge, general conditions across these areas are expected to strengthen/build through the 22, and will persist through the 23 across Zone CC, improving earlier through Zones BB and N'rn Zone AA. Highest winds and seas will be located along Central Zone CC, where winds from the 22 through the 23 will reach near gale force at times from the E-NE with swell reaching around 10 feet with the possibility of rogue sets as high as 11 feet. Then by the late 24 into the early 25, conditions improve across all forecasted zones as the trough broadens during this time frame.As for Zone HH, winds and seas are expected to remain light to moderate with fresh winds/conditions through the first 48 hours, improving thereafter as the trough broadens. Zone GG winds and seas will tend to be highest along Morocco due to daytime wind surges along the coastline.
