Meanwhile, an active cold front will sink southwards across Scotland, exhibiting a marked temperature gradient (especially aided by diurnal heating ahead of it) and wind veer (WNW to N). Line convection is likely to develop, especially given the strongly sheared environment, and may produce squally winds in places. Lightning activity is questionable given somewhat weak instability, but the reasonably strong shear and forcing aloft may be enough to compensate for a few isolated strikes, but the risk overall is considered very low.
