SYNOPSIS
An upper ridge expands across the N Atlantic and western Europe, results in ejecting the cutoff low on its eastern flank from central towards the western Mediterranean. The deep trough over N Europe weakens and a shallow cold front extends from eastern Europe across the S Balkan peninsula towards the S Mediterranean. A deep trough develops across Greenland and Iceland, resulting in a deep cyclone moving east towards the Norwegian sea.
