Synopsis

Low pressure "Xenia" (FU Berlin) continues to dominate the weather across the country on Friday, located over the southern North Sea.

Widespread scattered showers and thunderstorms are forecast to develop over many parts of central, southern and eastern England as instability increases.

Given the rPm airmass, hail is likely in many of the showers, and in stronger cells the hail may be moderate in size, accompanied by torrential downpours. There exists the potential for funnels or a weak tornado to develop. Showers will decrease in coverage during the evening hours, becoming mainly confined to coastal parts, with an indication of a distinct SW-NE line developing in the evening in the eastern English Channel, perhaps clipping coastal Kent/Sussex.
