GENERAL SYNOPSIS
ALTITUDE STORM WINDS SETTING UP • Fair high ridge, Azores to the Mediterranean, mostly above 1025 hpa, and reinforced high up by sub-tropical air income reaching Central Europe and Balkans – aiguille du Midi temperatures already noticeably above 0°C. • Which high pressure spread begins collapsing from Northwest this morning, upon thalweg income linked to the powerful 963 hpa low system which is expected to reaching Norwegian Sea oil fields fairly close to the coast toward the end of the night to Thursday. • Anticyclonic influence will thererfore diminish up to completely in the Alpine Range, allowing for an active cold front (15-20 mm) to crossing over the Alps SSE bound, by then and possibly generating severe strom winds high up. • Second disturbance will probably follow during the night to Friday, though causing nothing more than cloudy deterioration by daybreak.
