GENERAL SYNOPSIS
UNSETTLED AT TIMES • Low 998 hpa, NW close to Scotland, moving slowly away towards Iceland, extending a frontal trough up to the Pyrénées. Linked cold front is currently waving along N slopes of the Alpine Range, getting slowly closer. It bumps currently into past week-end's fair condition, while it's unsettled part is expected to moving away NE in the evening. • Moreover, this Scottish low is currently driving a powerful SW high up, Gibraltar to Scandinavia. • Instability will remain as a determining cause on Tuesday, until next high pressure altitude push from the Mediterranean will allow for a fair, stable and hot condition by Wednesday. • Further outlook is uncertain.
