Models are in general agreement it will move to the West and remain south of the island fortunately.
Europe outlook – on Thursday, the combination of a warm front over the Southern UK and a warm and moist South Westerly flow will help create periods of heavy rain over much of the Southern UK ending by the evening as the front moves quickly East. On Friday the front will stretch from Eastern Denmark to Southern Portugal with only a few light showers along the front. Upper-level ridging continues over Eastern Europe along with surface high pressure will continue to promote overnight fog/freezing fog and low ifr conditions.
North Atlantic jet stream analysis – with the lack of significant upper-level ridges/troughs over this region the primary jet will reside from Eastern NC to Goose Bay to North of the Azores with peak velocities from 100 to 120 knots.
