On 6 February, a low over Newfoundland will move NE-ward toward the British Isles while rapidly deepening. This low will be very intense and expected over the Northern British Isles from 8 February.
A very large area with STORM to VIOLENT STORM and VERY HIGH sea (up to 16 m sign waves and maximum waves up to 22-24 m) is expected S of this low system on 7-8 February. The waters SW of the British Isles, outside the English Channel, in Biscay and Finisterre will be affected with STORM and VERY HIGH SEA up to 9-13 m sign in connection with this low on 8-9th.
There is also risk of strong gale and HIGH sea > 6 m outside the English Channel until 10 February/12Z.
