Synopsis: good morning. Strong high pressure near the Azores will move little thru the 9/12 with only a slight weakening. A new high will move SE across the N Atlantic to merge with the initial high during the 10/12, with the merged high then remaining between the Azores and Iberia thru 12/12 with a gradual weakening. Ridging associated with the high extends strongly SE across the canaries, S to approximately 20N and SW to near 50W. This ridging will become disrupted by the development of a cut-off gale. This cutoff will begin to develop near 25N/25W am 8/12 and it will rapidly strengthen to a gale as it moves W to near 30W by evening 8/12, then slowing somewhat during the 9/12 and drifting W before then turning N to 27N/35W and slowly weakening thru the 10/12. A WSW drift will then occur thru 12/12 with the remains of the gale moving to near 25N/42W by late 12/12. The ridging will remain strong NE/N and NW of the system, with ridging weakening considerably to its S from the 8/12 thru the 12/12. To the W, broad inverted trough of low pressure extends N towards 35N from near 20N between 72W and 52W. Embedded broad but weak low near 27N/61W will move NE into N Atlantic thru this evening, leaving a weakened trough in lace into tomorrow morning. Trough then persists thru early 10/12 in this weakened state. Conclusion: Cut-off gale to form across girds CC thru tomorrow will lead to confused winds across grid HH as winds in the W portion of the grid shift from N - NW - W- SW by late tomorrow. Winds across E grid will shift to a more S direction, and remain as such tomorrow. Squall activity will become widespread across HH, with heavy squalls/showers across CC thru 9/12. Grid CC should be avoided as very rough weather will develop with the developing cut-off. Elsewhere, widespread showers across GG and S BB this morning will give way and become more scattered by tomorrow. Widespread - and at times heavy - squalls/showers dominate FF and N KK, with widespread squalls across S KK and N QQ. Squalls will weaken and become less numerous across QQ, with squalls remaining widespread across KK thru late tomorrow into the 9/12 as broad inverted trough weakens as noted above.
