Hello again,

Sailing Weather School (Part 1) was very successful last weekend, thanks to those of you who attended. I’ll be announcing more dates so, but I also intend to introduce a new half day introductory course, and will be hosting Sailing Weather (Part 2) for the first time in October 2009. I will announce the dates for these courses soon.

Onto the weekend forecast, and if you know anyone who’d like to receive this email each week just tell them to send a request to join to sailingweather-subscribe@weatherweb.net

Best wishes,
Simon



WEEKEND WEATHER FORECAST
Issued: 1300 Thursday 12th February 2009


SATURDAY:
High pressure is going to be centred just to the south of the Isle of Wight at midday on Saturday. A warm front will have passed eastwards through northern areas during the early hours of the morning, as a cold front moves into the west of Scotland and Ireland through the afternoon. Most of the country will be in a broad warm sector.
For northern and western areas there will be lots of cloud around through the morning and afternoon. Outbreaks of drizzle here with the cloud shrouding the hills and coasts. More persistent rain will arrive in western Scotland and Ireland later as the cold front moves in.
For more eastern and southern parts of the country morning low cloud is going to be breaking. This should leave the day mainly dry, albeit with always a fair amount of cloud. This is going to be broken and so there will be a few spells of sunshine coming through as well.
Winds will be mainly SW 8-12kt (F3-F4) in the south, nearer SW 20-25kt (F6) in the north but increasing to SW-W 25-30 (F7) over central and northern Scotland later.


SUNDAY:
High pressure remains in control of the weather through the day. The high again centred to the south of the country.
A ‘ribbon’ of fronts affect eastern parts of the country, and these could bring some lengthier periods of rain through East Anglia and southeast England during the morning.
Periods of rain will be affecting much of central Scotland, most of these being light and patchy. Low cloud will be shrouding the hills. Western and northern Scotland as well as the coasts (apart from the east) of Ireland and west Wales will have low cloud drifting in at times.
Elsewhere cloud is going to be breaking with some bright spells coming through, especially over the Midlands and p[arts of central, southern England.
Winds will be mainly W 10-15kt (F4) in the south, nearer 15-20 (F5) in the north.
