Storm Forecast Issued: 2009-12-01 23:38:00 Valid: 2009-12-02 00:00:00 - 2009-12-02 23:59:00 Regions Affected East Anglia, Southern England, Wales, western Scotland, Shetland and parts of Northern Ireland/Ireland (all of the UK is included in the WATCH) Synopsis
An area of LOW pressure to the west/northwest of the United Kingdom will dominate the weather across the United Kingdom on Wednesday. Behind an eastward-moving cold front, which will exit the east coast into the North Sea around 09z, numerous showers and isolated thunderstorms will develop due to various troughs and convergence zones. Given the Polar Maritime airmass, some of the showers will contain hail and possibly a weak funnel or tornado. Prolonged and frequent heavy downpours may cause local flooding on already saturated ground, especially southeastern counties of England. Showers will persist through the evening and night hours across many western and southern counties. |
