WINDS STRUCTURE IS ASYMMETRIC (GREATER WINDS EXTENSION IN THE EASTERN
SEMI CIRCLE).SYSTEM HAS TRACKED SOUTHWARDS ALONG THE WESTERN EDGE OF THE
SUBTROPICAL RIDGE CENTRED IN THE EAST. BEYOND RANGE 36H, IT SHOULD TURN
SOUTHEASTWARDS AND EVACUATE WITH THE TRANSITING TROUGH.
THE SYSTEM CAN BENEFIT FROM AN INTENSIFICATION WINDOW UP TO RANGE 24
HOURS, AS THE WINDSHEAR SHOULD TEMPORARILY DECREASED AND AN UPPER
TROUGH SHOULD IMPROVE THE POLEWARD OUTFLOW.
NWP MODELS ARE IN GOOD AGREEMENT AND THE FORECAST TRACK IS A
CONSENSUS.=

OUTFLOW COMING FROM CYCLONE FANELE DISTANT LESS THAN 750 KM TO THE

2.B OTHER INFORMATIONS:
THE SYSTEM HAS STARTED TO UNDERGO THE NORTHWESTERLY CONSTRAINT DUE TO THE
UPPER LEVEL JET STREAM FLOWING AHEAD OF THE FRONTAL TROUGH LOCATED JUST
TO THE SOUTH OF ERIC WHICH IS ABOUT TO INITIATE ITS EXTRATROPICAL
TRANSITION PHASE WITHIN AN INCREASINGLY SHEARED ENVIRONMENT. WINDS REMAIN
STRONG IN THE
EASTERN SECTOR DUE TO THE GRADIENT EFFECT WITH THE SUBTROPICAL RIDGE
SETTLED TO THE EAST-NORTHEAST AND DUE TO THE CORRELATED FAST MOTION OF
THE SYSTEM.
ERIC GOES ON MOVING ROUND THE AFOREMENTIONED LOW AND MID-LEVEL
SUBTROPICAL RIDGE AND WILL INDEED ACCELERATE NOTICEABLY IN THE NEXT 24H
WHILE RECURVING SOUTHEASTWARD.
