ARC Europe Weather Bermuda-Azores 26 May 2019

High just NE from the Azores with a ridge axis that extends SW to around 25N/45W and NE across the English Channel. Will move across the Azores through 29th.
Gale to the north is located near 55N/40W and will track ENE over Ireland while weakening through 28th.

Another gale near 40N/53W will curve NE to south of Greenland through 29th. An associated cold front will propagate away from the Gale to the east. The cold front will steadily weaken before lifting NE over the Azores by 30th.

Conclusion: The highest conditions can be expected across zone LL as this grid will be directly impacted by the cold front, with a strong SW flow with wind gusts reaching into the high 30s and possibly 40kts at times. Swell will build exceeding 10 feet on 27th. As the cold front lifts N, conditions will lower along the S portion of the grid by 29th, however will be slower to abate further north.

Zone NN will see slightly lower conditions compared to zone LL as the cold front will lift N over the NW corner of zone NN. Still expect strong SW flow across the W portion of this grid with the approaching cold front that will lower after 29th.

Zones KK will see relatively lighter conditions as the tail end of the cold front moves over the N portion of the grid within the next 1-2 days.

Zone PP will see the lightest conditions as it remains almost entirely within the high pressure ridge axis. Strongest conditions within this zone will steadily build through 28th/29th on the W half of the grid as the cold front lifts north of the grid and weakens.
