A weakening cold front will move eastwards from Ireland to western Britain during Sunday. Behind the cold front, cold air aloft overspreads relatively warm seas, and diurnal heating inland, to generate a few hundred J/kg CAPE.
Scattered showers will develop in response, perhaps with a few sporadic lightning strikes. While instability will be somewhat limited, the strongly-sheared environment with slight backing of the low-level winds may allow some organisation of the strongest cells, perhaps even with some supercell-like characteristics - particular attention is given to W / NW Ireland.
