and further weaken to strong to gale force west to southwesterlies

Meanwhile, a trough will stall over Southern Greenland as a ridge of
high pressure builds in from the west. The interaction of these two
features will cause strong to gale force westerlies to persist over
the marine district throughout the forecast period.
