GENERAL SYNOPSIS
Established european high pressure field was weakening somewhat while drifting S, and is currently lying mostly in the 1025-1030 hpa part, NW Maghreb to W Black Sea, via English Channel and N Germany; and in addition allowing for a tiny polar air thalweg to infiltrate high up, this Sunday up to N France, then up to NW Balkans by Monday morning. • In other words : almost without effect regarding our Region's weather, except for the increase of altitude stream. • Anticyclonic reign might last until Wednesday 26th along N slopes of the Alpine Range.
