Weather Changes in Game

I haven't sunk many ships on this patrol, but my tonnage numbers are looking pretty decent (for me, anyway) playing at high realism with RUb 1.43 installed. First off, I came across a "Large Cargo" and nailed him with two eels for 17k tonnage in the bank. Then I came across the first convoy I've seen in FOREVER and manage to sink two C-2s and damage a C-2 and C-3.

I was down to one external eel left for the stern tube so I decided to ditch the convoy before the corvettes found me, go to my patrol grid, then RTB and cash in my tonnage. Well, on the way to the grid I come across ANOTHER large cargo. I hit him with my one remaining torpedo and he starts sagging to stern and drops to 0 knots. I've been sitting with him for two days but the weather hasn't changed ONE BIT.

How long does it take for weather to shift in this game? A couple of 88s should be enough to finish this guy off!!! ARGH! What makes it even more frustrating is that the sea isn't that bad. Conditions are overcast but no fog, and wind speed only 13. The sea is choppy but not terrible.
