Storm Forecast Issued: 2010-08-22 01:02:00
Valid: 2010-08-22 00:00:00 - 2010-08-22 23:59:00

Regions Affected
East Anglia + SE England (Scotland, Northern Ireland, Midlands + SW/CS England are included in the WATCH)

Synopsis

Low pressure "Angelika" (FU Berlin) situated to the west of Scandinavia will continue to dominate the weather across the United Kingdom on Sunday.

To the south of a waving cold front, a warm and very humid airmass is advected across far E/SE England. Embedded convection is forecast to develop along the front across East Anglia/SE England, particularly during the afternoon, providing a focus for isolated/scattered thunderstorms. Any storms that do develop will move in a ENE direction along the front, and pose a threat of a tornado.

Across Scotland, Northern Ireland and Eire, scattered showers in the rPm airmass pose a low threat (30% chance) of thunder and lightning.
