Azores to Lagos & UK - 20 June

 PREPARED: JUNE 20 05:15Z FM: WEATHER ROUTING INC. (WRI)

SYNOPSIS: GOOD DAY. A THERMAL TROUGH OF LOW PRESSURE IS CURRENTLY IN PLACE OVER GIBRALTAR STRAIT, EXTENDING N'WARD INTO THE IBERIAN PENINSULA. THIS TROUGH WILL REMAIN IN PLACE WHILE GRADUALLY STRENGTHENING THROUGH THE 21ST, BEFORE BROADENING AND WEAKENING AND SHIFTING N'WARD ON THE 22ND THROUGH THE 23RD. A BROAD AREA OF HIGH PRESSURE IS CENTERED NEAR 45N/20W, WITH RIDGING EXTENDING
E'WARD INTO THE BAY OF BISCAY AND S'WARD TO GIBRALTAR. THIS RIDGE WILL DRIFT E'WARD WHILE WEAKENING THROUGH THE 21ST AS A COLD FRONT APPROACHES FROM THE WEST. THE COLD FRONT WILL BE NEAR 25W BY TOMORROW EVENING.

CONCLUSION: THE LARGEST SWELLS AND HIGHEST WINDS WILL CONSISTENTLY BE FOUND IN ZONES FFF AND GGG DUE TO THE ONGOING INTERACTION BETWEEN THE THERMAL TROUGH OF LOW PRESSURE AND HIGH PRESSURE RIDGING WEST OF THE IBERIAN PENINSULA. WINDS AND SWELLS IN THE N'RN PARTS OF ZONES HHH AND III WILL BECOME ENHANCED MID-DAY TOMORROW THROUGH TOMORROW EVENING AS THE AFOREMENTIONED COLD FRONT APPROACHES
FROM THE WEST, WITH WINDS TURNING MORE W-SW'LY AND SWELLS APPROACHING 8 FEET. THE FRONT WILL ALSO BE ACCOMPANIED BY AN AREA OF SHOWERS AND SQUALLS.
