Synopsis: broad high pressure ridging extends S between 40W and 20W towards 23N from high pressure north of the Azores. Ridging will weaken and retreat N towards 30N while also extending SE over the Canaries towards Morocco through the next 2 days. Ridging will build over Canaries on 4/5/12, then build SWS across the E Central Atlantic on 6/7/12.
Inverted trough of low pressure extends SW from near 40N/38W towards 25N/55W. Cut-off low will form near 38N/38W by midday tomorrow, then slowly slides S towards 35N through early 4/12 before dissipating by early 5/12. S'rn portion of the trough persists, though, broadening and moving W to sit between 65W and 55W by morning of 3/12. Trough will extend N towards 35N through 5/12, eventually forming a second cut-off low near 34N/54W by 6/12 which will move NE towards 55N/30W through 7/8/12.
Conclusion: trough will work to weaken enhancement of trade winds from ridging across all girds today. Broad trough across w'rn central Atlantic by 3/12 will bring lighter airs mixed with enhanced/widespread squalls/showers across grids FF LL as well as n'rn KK. Most consistent winds are expected to be found across n'rn RR, QQ, PP, and s'rn KK and JJ through the next two days. Also of note, forecast for grid AA covers waters directly south and southwest of the canaries, where islands will block larger n'ly swells and also work to slightly reduce winds.
