Good Monday Morning,
Masters golf tournament week is upon us and at first glance I see no issues with their weather through Sunday fortunately with high pressure in control. Per notam A0124/26 fuel restrictions at HAAB/Addis Ababa, continue until at least early May. This seems to be broader supply issue rather than just an airport problem. At Budapest, LHBP, traffic restrictions will be in place from 04/07 until 04/08 due to a VIP state visit, so plan extra fuel.
Critical weather days/space Weather alerts – none through Wednesday.
CONUS severe weather outlook – all things considered, for early April the possibility of significant severe weather remains low through Saturday.
Tropical weather outlook – two significant late season cyclones dominate the Southern Hemisphere. TC Maila, 700 miles NE of Cairns, Australia, will continue to meander around the Solomon Sea for the next 48 hours before heading in a general WSW direction, well to the SE of Port Moresby. It may approach extreme NE Australia later on this week, but it is still early to tell. TC Vaianu, 300 miles WNW of Suva, Fiji, will make its closest approach to Fiji around 18 hours from now, then accelerate to the SSE, becoming extra tropical in 72 hours as a very strong non tropical area of low pressure. Ultimately, it may impact the North Island of New Zealand on Saturday and Sunday with very high winds and heavy, possibly flooding rains.
Europe outlook – on Wednesday, high pressure will prevail over much of the Europe, with a moderately strong area of low pressure just to the SW of Lisbon, creating a few showers from Portugal to Central Spain. On Thursday, a cold front will be located over the North Sea to extreme NW France with a few showers along the front. High pressure will continue to prevail otherwise over much of Western and Central Europe.
North Atlantic Jet stream – on Wednesday, with the upper level low just offshore Portugal, along with another upper level low over Baffin Island will allow for a very strong jet to prevail from Bermuda to just west of Ireland, with peak velocities of 150 knots.
