Synopsis
A deep area of Low pressure "Yentl" (FU Berlin) over Iceland will dominate the weather across the United Kingdom on Tuesday.
A Pm airmass is advected southwards across the country as a cold front clears the far SE around dawn. Scattered showers and isolated thunderstorms are forecast to affect the western side of Scotland and the Northern Isles during the day. Given the airmass, hail is likely in many of the showers, perhaps locally moderate in size across the Northern Isles. There exists a risk of a weak tornado developing.
Showers will persist into the night period over the same areas, whilst further south a frontal feature moves eastwards across central U.K..
