ARC Weather Forecast 01/12/2016

Synopsis: Good morning. Weak ridging extends SW along the coast of Morocco and into the Canaries. Ridging will break down thru tomorrow as trough of low pressure that currently extends from gale center near 40N/38W SSE to near 25N/33W moves NE over the next few days. The gale will be centered near the Azores early on the 02, with the trough extending SE into the Canaries. The gale will move SE into the coast of Morocco thru the 05, and will gradually weaken.
A cold front now extends from 38N/34W SE thru 22N/38W and will move NE toward the Azores thru tomorrow. An area of high pressure centered east of Bermuda will move SE to near 25N/50W thru the 02, then drift E. The next cold front will extend from 35N/40W SW thru 27N/65W on the 03/PM and will move E to extend from 40N/30W SW thru 25N/50W on the 05th/AM. An area of showers and squalls extend mainly between 05N and 10N, and 20W to 50W. These showers will move W and then NW where they are forecast to extend from about 05N and 15N, and 35W and 50W by the morning of the 03. Tropical development is not expected within these squalls.
Conclusion: Mainly gentle winds can be expected in Grids II, HH, EE and FF thru out the next few days. The strongest gusts can be expected in Grids BB, CC and DD. These fresh gusts are expected to build from about the middle of each of these grids N to the N edge of the grids thru the next few days. They will ease starting with Grid DD on the morning of the 03. Fresh ENE winds can be expected across Grids PP, QQ and RR starting on the morning of the 02 thru the 03rd. Moderate winds will persist across the rest of grids during the next few days. The largest swells are expected to build across the N sections of Grids BB, CC and DD thru the morning of the 03. Swells up to 13ft can be expected across the N edge of Grids CC and BB by the morning of the 03, however all these swells are forecast to be long period. Long period swells will be weaker across the rest of the grids.
