Synopsis: Low pressure over Morocco/Algeria has a strong trough extending NW'ward across Madeira and as far north as the Iberian Peninsula and is expected to slowly weaken across Madeira and the Canaries through late tomorrow night (03rd), as the trough persists across Iberia. By the morning of the 04th, as the gale moves N'ward into the Balearics, the trough will strengthen and develop into a low pressure offshore Morocco by late on the 04th, as the trough interacts with a strong ridge of high pressure across Madeira, reaching the Canaries by the night of the 05th, then will slowly weaken through the 07th.
A cold front from E'rn Nova Scotia SW'ward offshore the Carolinas to Central Florida on the morning of the 04th will track E'ward from south of Newfoundland and through Bermuda to the S'rn Bahamas on the morning of the 05th. Another cold front from E'rn New York State SW'ward through S'rn Georgia by evening of the 04th will move east over W'rn Nova Scotia and through the N'rn Bahamas by the morning of the 05th. The cold front will extend SW'ward across the E'rn Bahamas and continue E'ward while weakening through the 06th across the E'rn Caribbean.
Conclusion: At this time, larger NNE'ly swells are progressing into the NE'rn portion of grid BB. These, along with stronger NE'ly winds associated with the building ridge across this grid will result in increasing conditions through the evening of the 04th. Trades will persist in BB through the 05th, though the larger swells will abate. Similar pattern will undergo in grid GG and MM though larger NW'ly swells will be progressing SE'ward into the NW'rn portion of GG through tomorrow. The larger swells won't make it into MM, though the same increasing trades are expected.
Grid CC is closer to the ridge axis so do expect lighter NE'ly winds within grid CC at this time with larger swells within the S'rn portion of this grid abating gradually today. Conditions will be quite rough today and tomorrow within grid HH, NN, II, OO, PP, and QQ. These grids are within the more S'rn portion of the ridge which is strengthening at this time. Do expect strongest E'ly trades within II, PP, OO, and HH. NN will benefit from being within the SE'rn portion of the ridge leading to winds on the lower ends of the ranges, though will gradually increase toward the latter part of the forecast period.
DO expect larger NW'ly swells in HH, II, PP and into NW'rn OO to abate and become replaced by a more shorter period E'ly sea as the winds increase. By the latter part of the forecast period, wind and sea direction will change from E'ly to more ESE'ly within grids QQ, PP, JJ and II, remaining E'ly in OO, NN, II and HH.
Do note that within all grids, localized winds/seas may be higher than forecast within squalls which are expected to be isolated to scattered in nature.
