Good Friday Morning!
Might want to dismiss using EINN, Shannon, Ireland as an etp from tonight through Sunday night per notam A3496 due to the POTUS visit and a PPR requirement due to the Irish open. EIDW also appears to have restrictions too. EGAA remains a great alternate ETP airport in the region. KHPN will have overnight runway closures during much of next week from 04z until 0930z. Mt Etna is now under a code orange alert, and the threat of ash appears minimal at this time. No sigmets are in effect. GNSS jamming continues within 280 miles of YYQ up to FL600.
No Critical weather days through Sunday and no geomagnetic storms are forecast through Sunday too.
CONUS severe weather outlook – today looks to be most active through the weekend. A slight risk of severe thunderstorms exists later on this afternoon into this evening from Northeastern NE to Northern MN to NW Ontario Canada. Large hail and damaging wind gusts appear to be the greatest threat.
Tropical weather outlook – west Pacific and the Atlantic basins remain quiet. East and central Pacific are busy however no land masses will be impacted.
Europe outlook – no large storm systems are on the horizon through at least Monday. An upper-level ridge will build into Western Europe on Sunday and move towards Central Europe on Monday. Probability of thunderstorms will remain low through Monday too. I do not see any snow in the Alps for the next seven days.
North Atlantic jet stream outlook – a relatively strong zonal flow will persist due to the lack of significant upper-level troughs and ridges. Expect little change on Monday.
