From: Commanders Weather Corp, tel 603-882-6789 Route: St Lucia to Azores to England Last Position: 21 59n/ 52 11w at 1200 UTC Mon, Mar 11, 2013 Prepared: 1500 UTC Mon Mar 11, 2013 Summary:.. Wind regime looks pretty good for possibly the rest of the trip but there will be large NW-N swells to deal with next few days which will slowly diminish 1) Large and still fairly intense low is located at 35n/ 50w at 12 UTC today. 2) This low will track SE next 48 hours tending to weaken then will reform to the NE second half of the week. a) By 12 utc Tue low will be near 33n/ 48w b) By 12 utc Wed near 29n/46w c) By 12 utc Thu near 36n/39w – low reforms to NE and moves eastward d) By 12 utc Fri near 37n/ 29w – just SW of the Azores e) By 12 utc Sat NE of the Azores and moving away. 3) As the low heads SE and gets a little closer your winds may be somewhat stronger at times next 48 hours. a) Direction will slowly clock to W Tue and to NW Tue night and Wed. 4) This should keep you slowly chugging along toward the Azores. 5) Main concern will be the large NW swell which will be at its peak now – then slowly diminish midweek. 6) As the low redevelops to the NE and moves closer to the Azores Thu/Fri your winds should clock to NW and diminish. a) Wind speeds Thursday diminishing to 15 kt range b) By Friday diminish to 10-14 kts. c) Winds will be stronger to the NE of your estimated positions. 7) By Saturday the low exits NE of the Azores and N-S high pressure ridge approaches from the W. a) Your winds will likely drop to < 10 kts as the ridge moves thru b) Direction will back to W then likely SW 8) Then next front likely will freshen SW winds to 15-25 kts before shifting to westerly again early next week. 9) So the wind regime looks ok for you and will see a gradually diminishing NW-N swell next few days. 10) Suggest next update Friday – please send position report by 12 utc then – thanks.
