Title: Convective Outlook UK & Ireland - Mon June 7th
Post by: martinastro on June 07, 2010, 12:38:33 pm
http://ukasf.co.uk/module-Storm/mode-forecast/id-297/ (risk map) - ESTOFEX have all of Britain in the t-storm box today  :)

Storm Forecast Issued: 2010-06-06 22:21:00
Valid: 2010-06-07 00:00:00 - 2010-06-07 23:59:00

Regions Affected
(E Anglia, E Midlands, NW & NE England, Yorkshire, S, C & W Scotland, Northern Ireland are included in the WATCH)

Synopsis

Existing showers and thunderstorms courtesy of Low pressure "Cordula" will decay over the North Sea/Low Countries during the first few hours of this forecast period.

During daylight hours, scattered showers are expected to develop across the WATCH area of Britain - there is a slight risk of electrical activity, this most likely in northern England and Scotland given some decent orographic lift. Otherwise, most showers should be light-moderate in intensity and should decay widely during the late afternoon hours as a frontal system rapidly approaches from the southwest.

Behind this frontal system, scattered showers and thunderstorms are forecast for the Southwest of Ireland for a short time period during the late afternoon and evening hours. These showers become fewer in number later in the evening, after sunset.
