Synopsis: A gale is now located near 35N/63W, and this will move NE'ward to the Grand Banks through the 10th. Another gale will form near 38N/69W early on the 10th, and will move ESE'ward to 38N/65W through later the 10th. A ridge of high pressure extends from West Virginia SE'ward to 27N/72W, and this will shift W'ward, extending from Georgia SE'ward to the n'rn Bahamas on the evening of the 10th. A trough of low pressure extends from Hispaniola NE'ward to 28N/53W, and this will slowly weaken through the 10th.
Conclusions: For Grid BB, the below forecast winds and swells address the the W'rn half of the grid, with winds and seas tending higher over the E'rn half of the grid in closer proximity to the gale. However, these conditions will ease significant through tonight and further through tomorrow morning; the larger NE'ly swells consistently above 12 ft over BB will abate into the overnight hours tonight. For Grid DD, winds will tend highest over the NE'rn section of the grid the next 24 hours. Winds will increase from north to south for Grids DD, BB and EE from 10th/00Z through 10th/12z. The lightest airs from 09th/12Z through 10th/00Z will be found in the S'rn halves of Grid DD and EE and the N'rn halves of Grid GG and HH.

pressure extends from West Virginia SE'ward to 27N/72W, and this will shift
W'ward, extending from Georgia SE'ward to the n'rn Bahamas on the evening of

and this will slowly weaken through the 10th.
