.SYNOPSIS...The Atlantic high pressure ridge is centered across
the NE Atlantic along 31W and extends SW to near 25N65W. The
ridge will build modestly across the regional waters late Thu
through the weekend. Low pressure is forecast to develop along a

 winds and building seas to 8 ft across the N waters between 60W
 and 70W on Fri as a strong high pressure briefly builds across 
the region between the two above mentioned lows.
