North Atlantic ocean remains in pretty dynamic pattern, as a broad area of deep troughs and cyclones continues this week. One of the waves is currently resulting in cyclogenesis over the Azores and expected to significantly deepen while moving towards Western Europe tomorrow. It will likely bring gale-force winds towards the coast of west-southwest Ireland overnight to Thursday.
