WEEKEND SAILING FORECAST
Issued: 1130 Thursday 30th June 2005
FRIDAY
A shallow low is to the west of Ireland at midday, this tracks east, but gets absorbed into the further low developing in the central Atlantic, around 50N. A warm front is expected to affect much of Ireland, Wales and southwest England, as an occluded front clears from eastern coasts of Scotland in the morning.
So, showery rain affecting the east of Scotland and far northeast of England at first, This should clear in the afternoon, bringing brighter conditions, although probably lingering around Shetland and Orkney.
Ireland, western Wales and southwest England are likely to be fairly cloudy all day with periods of rain and drizzle and plenty of mist and fog on the coasts, bringing poor visibility at times. The low cloud and drizzle drifting up the English Channel too, and there will be mist and fog patches here as well leading to moderate or poor visibility.
Elsewhere it should be a brighter day. There will be broken cloud, but also a few showers.
Winds will be mainly W-SW 12-15kt (F4) but 18=2-kt (F5) around western coasts and 20-25kt (F6) around southern Ireland. Lighter for north Wales, northern England and Scotland in W 12kt (F4).
SATURDAY
A deepening low west of Ireland, with all models pretty well in agreement on it's position. It looks set to be a windy day for much of Ireland and western Scotland. Warm front associated with the low extends through western Scotland to East Anglia by late morning, this moving northeast, with a broad warm sector then covering much of the UK.
Windy with cloud and drizzle over much of Ireland and western Scotland, this turning more persistent through the day, tracking eastwards. Morning drizzle too for northwest England, although this should clear allowing sunny spells to come through. The west coasts of Wales and southwest England always troubled by the low cloud and mist, although again, this should clear too. More central and eastern areas will be drier and brighter, with any low cloud clearing and then good spells of sunshine coming through. Watch out for fog patches through the English Channel.
Winds SW 12-15kt (F4) in southern England. S-SW 20-30kt (F6) through Ireland and west Scotland, touching F7 at times. Mainly SW (behind the warm front) 15kt (F4-F5) in northwest England and Wales.
SUNDAY
The low looks set to track between Scotland and Ireland through the course of Sunday. A cold front moves eastwards as well, although I'm not sure how far east this will be tracing during daylight hours. Much fresher weather follows the front, with a showery trough into Ireland in the afternoon.
For most of west and north Scotland and Ireland there will be sunny spells and showers through the day. The heaviest showers always in the west, with parts of eastern Ireland probably staying dry until the afternoon.
Rain associated with the front may be through the Midlands and northern England in the morning, this perhaps tending to get stuck through the area in the afternoon. It may be sufficiently close to trigger a for thunderstorms over East Anglia and the south east later.
For southwest England, Wales and northwest England there will be sunny spells with only occasional showers, although the shower activity becoming more frequent later.
Winds mainly light and variable for most of England and the Channel. SW 10-12kt (F3-F4) in the west ahead of the trough, but WSW 15-18kt (F4-F5) behind it. mainly SW 18-25kt (F6) in northwest Scotland.
