An upper low and associated cold pool will reside above the British Isles during Thursday, with a series of shortwaves rotating anticlockwise around the main parent low. These will provide the focus for more enhanced convection / showers, which may merge to give some longer spells of rain (a mix of dynamic and convective rainfall). One such feature will be affecting SW England during the morning, swinging eastwards across central/southern Britain to clear the east coast by evening. Either side of this, sunshine and diurnal heating will aid the development of numerous scattered showers, with a window of lighter surface winds and a greater potential for some low-level convergence/confluence to become established during the afternoon hours across the Midlands towards eastern England - this may aid development of deep convection.
