Synopsis: Good morning. A trough of low pressure centered near 20N/35W, extends from NE'rn South America, NE'ward towards the W'rn Canaries. This trough is forecast to remain mostly stationary through the 25, while broadening gradually across the Tropical Atlantic during this time. Thereafter the trough is forecast to lift N'ward and consolidate near 35N/40W through the 27 while merging with a gale to the NW during this time. No tropical development is expected to occur with this trough.High pressure ridging centered near 50N,35W, extends from S'rn Greenland, SE'ward across the Azores towards S'rn Morocco. This area of high pressure ridging is forecast to move slowly SE'ward towards the W'rn Azores through the morning hours of the 24, while weakening as it extends from the Canaries, NW'ward across the Azores, and from there NE'ward across the British Isles towards S'rn Scandinavia. Thereafter the high is forecast to broaden and consolidate over the British Isles through the 25, as a gale develops over Iberia during this time. Conclusion: Note that highest conditions will be located across Zone CC along the N'rn Half, as this is where the interactions between the high pressure ridge and trough is strongest. E-NE'ly winds across this zone will gradually strengthen over the next 2-3 days, with winds at times potentially gusting near gale force, and swell reaching near 11 feet along the N'rn half within the highest winds. As you travel south along Zone CC towards the trough axis, conditions become more moderate.Along Zones AA/BB: Conditions will build/strengthen from the North gradually over the next 2-3 days, with highest conditions north of the Canaries in Zone AA, and along N'rn Zone BB. Swell within Zone BB will tend to be longer in period though will reach near 10 feet by tomorrow afternoon within moderate to fresh airs. These higher swell and winds will make their way towards Zone GG by late tomorrow early 23.Zone HH overall, will be the area where conditions will gradually broaden/weaken as a result of the broadening trough over the 2-3 days, with winds and seas primarily SE'ly within this zone.Be advised, within squalls along the trough across the area, expect potentially higher conditions within heavier squalls than forecast below.
