ARC Europe Weather Bermuda-Azores 31 May 2018

A gale remains located to the NW of Zones NN and PP this morning, and as a result, a cold front continues to make slow E progress toward Zone NN due to broad ridging in place which is suppressing E movement of this system. In advance of this front, S to SW breezes remain fresh, and will do so across Zone NN for the next 2-3 days. Gusts will approach 35 knots at times, especially on the 02nd. Additionally, peak SW long period swell sets of 12-15 feet will persist late tomorrow night into the 02nd across Zone NN. Showers and squalls are expected to develop as well as the front slowly approaches from the west.

Across Zone PP, conditions will be slightly more benign than those across Zone NN. However, fresh SE to S breezes with gusts approaching 25 knots can be anticipated. Additionally, peak long period W swell sets of 6-9 feet can be expected late tomorrow evening into the morning of the 02nd. Shower and squall coverage is expected to be less concentrated as Zone PP remains further to the east of the front the next several days.
