Last week was dominated by blocking High over the British Ilse and southern parts the North Sea, forcing the Lows to track over the Denmark Strait and eastwards to northern parts of Norwegian Sea and Barents Sea. This week a High pressure will build off the coast of Portugal with ridge extending eastward over the continent, enabling new intense Lows from north Atlantic to take a more easterly path into the Norwegian Sea and later across N Scandinavia.
During the week several frontal systems and troughs will pass in the North Sea and Norwegian Sea, causing SW'ly wind up to near gale or gale force and increasing wave heights. In the Norwegian Sea wave heights up to 5-8 m (Hs). The Barents Sea will as the Lows in the Norwegian Sea continues eastwards across N Scandinavia, experience NE-SE'ly windflow of near gale force at times.
