GENERAL SYNOPSIS
High 1033 hpa, NW Ireland, linked to mild air altitude high-pressure bubble, Central Atlantic Ocean to English Channel. The whole pattern is drifting slowly ENE while strengthening somewhat, and expected over Scotland towards the night to Tuesday. • Isobaric swamp nearly 1014 over the Western and Central Mediterranean, almost stationary. • Thus, light and dry Bise winds streaming in-between towards the N slopes of the Alpine Range, where pressure field was weakening [ Chamonix, 1016 - Sion, 1017 - Innsbruck, 1018 ]. • Noticeable instability expected to persist in Savoy and Italian Piedmont, with thundery shower risk arising quite soon in the afternoon. Same kind of weather likely this week, possibly less unstable on Monday-Tuesday, yet more on Wednesday-Thursday.
