Low pressure east of the Azores midday 5/12 will weaken to a trough as it moves S to near the Canary Islands by midday 6/12. This trough is expected to drift S and broaden through 8/12. North of the trough will be strong ridging. A low will develop mid-ocean on 6/12 with center east of Bermuda near 35n/55w by the morning of the 06th. This low will develop into a gale with center SE of Newfoundland by late 6/12 early 7/12 with center near 45N/50W.

Swells will be higher in n'rn exposed waters of grid AA on 4/12 (up to 7-9 feet), though long period. Most consistent winds are expected in grids GG, HH, JJ, KK over the next 2 days.
