ARC Europe Weather Bermuda-Azores 20 May 2018



ARC Europe Weather
May 20 06:18z


Synopsis: High near 42N/52W extends strong ridging E to the Azores and Iberia, SE to the Canary Islands, and SW to the Bahamas. The center will drift E to the Azores by 22nd, with strong ridging continuing SE to the Canary Islands, and SW to the Bahamas.

Cold front extends from W'rn Ireland, SW thru Azores, and SW along 35N. Will slowly drift E thru 22nd, before weakening.

Gale over the Labrador Sea tomorrow morning, extending a cold front SW to the Delmarva region. Will lift NE to S'rn Greenland thru 23rd, while a cold front then extends SW to along 35N. This front will weaken as it moves E over Azores thru 24th.

Low near 42N/52W by the morning of 24th, extending an additional cold front SW to the E'rn Carolina coast. Will lift NE thru evening of 25th as it strengthens near 47N/43W.

Conclusion: A cold front will overspread Zones DD and FF on 22nd before moving E by 23rd. Will give increasing/building conditions ahead of the front. Fresh to strong SW breezes across these two zones as well in advance of the cold front, will tend to veer more NW once the front passes thru by late day on 22nd. 

Conditions across Zones AA, CC, and EE will be more benign by comparison to DD and FF. However, W swell sets, moderate in period, will build to between 6-9 feet across Zone EE, with moderate SW breezes expected before the cold front moves across the grid by 23rd. Across Grid AA and CC, peak S to NW swell sets between 3-6 feet, and 4-7 feet, respectively, will tend to be moderate period. Moderate S to SW breezes will tend to prevail across both of these zones thru the evening of 22nd. The front will tend to remain north of AA and CC longer, thus the winds will veer more NW late on the 22nd into 23rd as opposed to zones to the north.
