VALID FROM : SUNDAY MAY 31 ‑‑ UNTIL : FRIDAY JUNE 5 2020
GENERAL SYNOPSIS
High 1035, Southwest Scandinavia, and 1017‑1019 over the Alps, going along with altitude high ridge, Spain to English Channel. • Until Wednesday, all that high pressure area will get gradually weaker, allowing for an isobaric swamp to spread out over a large part of Europe. Its pressure field will become decisively low as an altitude polar air thalweg will intrude over British Isles; some successive cut‑offs at its southern tip will then affect Northern France and shape very unstable weather over the Alpine Range during a large latter part of the week. • This might be quite an uncertain sequence in detail, needing watchful monitoring day after day.
