SYNOPSIS

A long-wave trough covers western and central Europe, yielding a strong south-westerly flow from the central Mediterranean to north-eastern Europe. Several vort-maxima will travel with this jet stream across the Balkans and eastern Europe on Thursday. Another vort-maxima is associated with the axis of the long-wave trough that moves from the British Isles towards France during the day. At lower levels, warm and well-mixed air spreads northward into south-western Russia ahead of a frontal boundary. Cool air masses dominate most of Europe further west. Best moisture is associated with the frontal boundary from south-western Russia to the south Mediterranean, despite rich moisture across the Black Sea. However, some better moisture can be also found near the axis of the long-wave trough.
