ARC Weather Forecast 03/12/2016

Synopsis: A gale is now located near 38N/19W, and this will move E to just west of S Portugal thru early the 05. The system then moves SE to Gibraltar thru later the 05 while rapidly dissipating. A ridge of high pressure extends form 25N/60W E to 40W, and this will shift E, extending from the Canary Islands SW to 18N/35W on the 05. The ridge then shifts E, and will extend from Gibraltar SW to 20N/35W on the 08. Another large and complex gale is located over the Grand Banks. This will move NE to near 50N/33W thru the 06. Another gale will form near 40N/45W on the 06, and this will move NE to 50N/28W thru the 08. Yet another gale just east of the Mid-Atlantic states on the 07 will move ESE to 33N/45W thru the 08. A cluster of showers/squalls 05N N to 15N and from 52W E to 30W. This will transition into a trough of low pressure from 05N N to 20N on the 06. This trough then drifts W and dissipates on the 08.A trough of low pressure from E Hispaniola NE to 25N/60W will drift SE and into the Leeward Islands thru the 06, then gradually dissipates.
Conclusion: Light to gentle winds across the N sections of Grids KK, JJ, II, HH and S sections of EE, DD, and CC thru out the next few days as the broad ridge moves E. More moderate NE to Es across Grids NN, OO, and PP. The largest swells will be mostly located across N sections of Grids DD and CC, but will be abating from west to east thru the 04 and 05 and will be long period. More moderate period swells across Grids PP, QQ and RR and will become more long period across QQ and PP by the morning of the 05.
