An upper ridge initially over the UK/Ireland on Tuesday will slowly weaken and retreat eastwards, as an upper low west of Iberia lifts northwards. On the forward side, strengthening southeasterly flow aloft will encourage advection of a relatively high Theta-W tongue northwestwards during the overnight hours from France towards western English Channel / SW England / Celtic Sea / southern Ireland. With cooling aloft and some PVA as the upper low approaches, there is scope for some elevated deep convection to develop in a rather narrow zone / instability axis that will shift northeastwards through the night. The instability axis is likely to move northwards at a reasonable pace across the Celtic Sea and southern Ireland, but could remained anchored near or to the west of the Channel Islands during this period of interest.
