JAN 5. -- Sea State 3. 1 cloud layer, 3000-5000 m., broken clouds. Light Haze.

JAN 6 -- Sea State 5. 2 cloud layers, 1000 - 3000 m. and from 7000-8000. Intermittent clouds. Very Clear.

JAN 8 --

Western Atlantic:

Sudden low pressure system will be arriving from continental US moving eastward into the western half of the Atlantic during the day, with winds at 15 kts. and heavy cloud cover with moderate snowfall and waves reaching to Sea State 4 by nightfall. Sudden line squalls will be common as the low pressure shift hits your locality. (Units further east will experience this later than those to the west). Estimate a 40% chance of precipitation (snow) throughout this region. Temperatures will remain below freezing. This front should reach the center of the Atlantic by early evening.

Eastern Atlantic:

Weather will continue to remain calm and hazy throughout the day as it was on Jan. 7 with the ocean surface smooth and glassy and negligible wind. Sea State 1. Expect fog in the morning hours and very hazy visibility during the remainder of the day. By early evening, units close to the center of the Atlantic will experience a sudden pressure drop and line squalls as the low pressure system from the west moves in.

JAN 9 --

Western Atlantic:

Winds and sea state will increase to Sea State 6, but the skies will be sunny with only scattered clouds in the 4000-6000 meter band, with unlimited visibility at sea level as the heavy cloud layer is blown out of the region to the east. Temperatures will remain cold.

Eastern Atlantic:

Same weather as Western Atlantic during Jan. 8.

JAN 10 --

Western Atlantic:

Winds and seas expected to subside to Sea State 5 with overcast skies, with a cloud ceiling of 6000 feet. Precipitation likely. Seas gradually calming during the night to Sea State 1. Temperatures will remain cold.

Eastern Atlantic:

Same weather as Western Atlantic during Jan. 9.

JAN 11 --

Western Atlantic:

Warmer temperatures and calm seas will follow in the aftermath of the storm, with negligible winds. Sea State between 1 and 0 expected. Surface of the water will be smooth and glassy. Possible haze or fog in morning, with cloud ceiling rising to 3000 ft. by end of day.

Eastern Atlantic:

Same weather as Western Atlantic during Jan. 10.

JAN 12 --

Western Atlantic:

Winds and seas picking up slightly, heavy clouds forming during the afternoon. Continued overcast, though cloud ceiling should be high, about 30,000 ft. Precipitation likely toward evening with possible scattered storms.

Eastern Atlantic:

Same weather as Western Atlantic during Jan. 11.

JAN 13 --

Western Atlantic:

Winds and seas expected to increase to Sea State 3 or 4, with moderate to heavy winds. Possible scattered storms.

Eastern Atlantic:

Same weather as Western Atlantic during Jan. 12.

JAN 14 --

Western Atlantic:

Winds and seas expected to increase to Sea State 5 or 6, with heavy winds. No clouds. Visibility: clear.

Eastern Atlantic:

Same weather as Western Atlantic during Jan. 13..

JAN 15 --

Western Atlantic:

Winds and seas expected to decrease to Sea State 3 or 4. Skies predicted to be cloudy. Cloud layer starting at 3,000 ft., 1000 ft. thick. Visibility expected to be very clear.

Eastern Atlantic:

Same weather as Western Atlantic during Jan. 14.

JAN 16 --

Western Atlantic:

Weather will continue as before, or possibly become slightly calmer. Sea State 3 expected.

Eastern Atlantic:

Same weather as Western Atlantic during Jan. 15.

NOTES:

All areas to the south and east of the GIUK gap in the northern theater region will be considered to be part of the Eastern Atlantic, for game purposes.

All areas from the UK and eastward (e.g. Norway and the Kola) will be considered to be one zone further east, and will generally experience the same weather as the Eastern Atlantic only 24 hours later.

Also note that all forecasts are subject to some degree of inaccuracy, especially forecasts that are projected more than 24 hours from the current date.
