SYNOPSIS

Between the subtropical jet over the southern Mediterranean region and the polar jet over Iceland and northern Scandinavia, a broad "no man's land" covers most of Europe. It is characterized by several compact upper-level lows and otherwise weak geopotential gradients.
The strongest upper-level low is stationary near the Slovenian-Croatian border. Warm air advection and a series of pivoting vorticity maxima create lift on its southern and eastern flank from the Balkans towards Poland and continue to induce several surface cyclogeneses. Another small upper-level low - without any signal at low levels - slowly drifts from southern Sweden into eastern Germany. High-resolution models even agree on a third geopotential minimum prowling around over southwestern Poland.
The surface pressure field is more homogeneous with a large anticyclone over the North Sea and most of Scandinavia and broad low pressure over the Balkans, the central and eastern Mediterranean region. The mentioned small upper-tropospheric features in the absence of noteworthy surface signals make this forecast particularly tricky.
