Vertically-stacked low over eastern England will gradually drift southeastwards to BeNeLux by Saturday night. The exact location of the surface low will prove crucial to any deep convection potential - provided it is sufficiently to the west, this may allow some insolation to occur across eastern England, perhaps enough to generate 100-200 J/kg CAPE.


Low-level convergence near the surface low centre may allow a few heavy showers to develop, perhaps capable of producing some isolated lightning - though the risk is considered quite low as this depends on surface temperatures reaching 9-10C which seems unlikely should cloud cover persist. The risk is greatest over East Anglia, but confidence on lightning potential is not high enough for now to issue a SLGT.
