ARC Europe Weather: BVI-Bermuda 09 May

Synopsis: A cold front currently extends WSW'ward from the Azores to the N'rn
Bahamas. This front will slowly weaken as it moves ESE'ward across the central
Bahamas through the 11th.

A ridge of high pressure is currently centered near 25N/33W with a ridge axis
that extends W'ward to the Leeward Islands and the central Bahamas. This ridge
will gradually move E'ward back across the E'rn Atlantic through the 10th.
Another (stronger) ridge of high pressure will build S'ward from New England,
across Bermuda and the N'rn Bahamas by this morning. The center of this high
pressure will move SE'ward to just north of Bermuda, with moderate to strong
ridging persisting across the Leeward islands to the Florida Peninsula through
the 13th.

A developing gale over the Canadian Maritimes will quickly move ESE'ward, just
west of the Azores by the 11th while completely absorbing the aforementioned
cold front. This stronger cold front will propagate E'ward across the Central
Atlantic, moving across the Azores by the 12th.

Conclusion: Across Zones B and E, generally NE-E'ly winds are expected to
persist across the W'rn Atlantic over the next 2-3 days as several areas of
high pressures build around the region. Overall, moderate to at times
freshening breezes are expected as winds will gradually veer.

In Zone C, conditions are expected to remain relatively breezy through today,
before the ridge moves over the region by the 11th, causing light and variable
conditions.

All three zones are expected to encounter swell ranging between 4-7 feet over
the next 2-3 days, with isolated squalls possible in Zones B and E.
