The upper level block over the northeastern North Atlantic remains, however, has drifted somewhat southward since last week.
A strong upper-level jet remains from off the US Southeast Coast northeastward to south of Iceland but turns east then east-southeast across the North Sea.
This will allow gale to storm northwesterly winds and rough seas to enter the North Sea. Possible strong coastal low expected to move up along the US East Coast by this weekend.
