WX ARC 2017 05 DEC



Synopsis: Good morning. An area of ridging is located over the Canaries extending SW across about 15N/45W which is expected to persist thru the 07 while gradually weakening as the high drifts ENE across Iberia and broadens. Another high pressure system is located offshore the NE Mid Atlantic Coast with ridging extending SE across 15N/50W which is expected to persist while strengthening thru the 07 as the high moves ESE and strengthens.


A large gale is located near 35N/55W with associated cold front extending SE across 20N/55W. This gale is expected to move ENE while strengthening thru the evening of the 06, then will move SSE toward 25N/35W thru the 09 while weakening.


Conclusion:


Zone OO: Conditions will improve over the next 48 hours as moderate to fresh NE ease into gentle to moderate NE by tomorrow afternoon. Swells will lower to 4-6ft and will remain long in period.


Zone PP: Conditions will remain relative favorable over the next 48 hours as moderate to fresh NE will continue during this time. Swells will remain between 5-7ft and long in period.


Zone JJ: Conditions will increase over the next 48 hours as swells build to 7-9ft by the 06 and will remain long in period. Gentle to moderate breezes are also expected to continue at this time.


Zone II: Conditions will become more favorable for transit over the next 48 hours as moderate to fresh NE breezes ease into gentle to moderate NE by tomorrow evening. Swells will lower to 4-6ft and remain long in period.
