GENERAL SYNOPSIS
Atlantic High Ridge recently refocused N of Scotland (Féroé, Shetland, 1026 hpa) keeps moving very slowly E. • Mediterranean isobaric swamp's pressure field is now weakening slowly from W under distant influence of low "Oscar", 998 off Portugal, and seemingly drifting towards Germany where an altitude cut-off was deepening. Resulting humid W stream on one hand, and weakening pressure field over the Alpine Range [ Chamonix, 1014 - Sion, 1016 - Innsbruck, 1016 ] on the other, should trigger noticeable thundery deterioration on Friday. • Further outlook is very uncertain.
