Upper lows will be centred over Bay of Biscay/N Spain and N Germany on Saturday – with shallow low pressure covering much of mainland Europe, with centres over Germany and Spain. A moist airmass covers much of the UK, surface heating combined with breeze convergence and lift from a weak trough moving west from the near continent will trigger heavy showers and some thunderstorms this afternoon across NW England, Wales, Midlands, SW & S England – where breeze convergence zones are forecast to develop. These showers and storms will drift southwest. Scattered heavy showers and isolated thunderstorms may also develop across Scotland. There a risk of hail and localised flash-flooding with stronger cells, also there is a chance of some funnel clouds given favourable conditions of light winds aloft and surface breeze convergence.
