VALID FROM : FRIDAY AUGUST 7 ‑‑ UNTIL : WEDNESDAY AUGUST 12 2020
GENERAL SYNOPSIS
Powerful high 1028, Baltic states, extending a ridge 1020 up to Northwest Alpine Range and reinforced by Saharan originated altitude ridge. That widespread anticyclonic pattern will keep sheltering our Region until Sunday noon, under a kind of hot and stable air cupola where temperature highs might climb above 31°C towards 1000 m. • Air mass is expected to becoming slightly unstable by Sunday afternoon, without further consequence than locally well developed cumulus cloud over the massifs.
