Synopsis

Low pressure "Doris" becomes centred over the south Irish Sea on Tuesday, dominating the weather across the United Kingdom.

South of a north-ward moving occlusion, located over northern England, southern Scotland and Northern Ireland, numerous showers and local thunderstorms are expected to develop as a result of daytime heating and instability. It seems likely that the showers may form distinct lines along convergence zones, particularly in a SW-NE orientation over the Midlands.

Light winds will ensure that any showers are slow moving, with the potential for a weak convergence-type funnel possible. Showers will generally decrease in coverage from the south later in the afternoon and become increasingly isolated through the remainder of the evening hours.
