Meteo Consult: pressure...

Sunday the 9th of May
The low pressure moves quickly in the morning to head towards the middle of the Bay of Biscay. It goes slightly north in the afternoon, and generates very disturbed conditions. For the start, conditions of low pressure with west-southwest wind force 3-4 that turns west. The showers limit the visibility. With the rise of the low pressure in the afternoon, the west wind strengthens and is then northwest force 4-5 with a risk of reaching force 5-6 in a sea that becomes rough. In the evening and night it will continue to strengthen sector west-north-west force 6 with potential 35 knots gales and gusts. This kind of changing situations limits its reliability due to uncertainty about the precise development of the low pressure. Nevertheless, there are risks of conditions that will get worse.

Forecast for the beginning of next week
Low pressures on Monday in the North of theBay of Biscay before reaching France on Tuesday. The low pressure and very unstable conditions on Monday will change into a northerly stream Tuesday. Then on Wednesday, the pressure should increase and improve the weather forecast.
