SYNOPSIS

Monday morning a mid-level low will be cutting off from the westerlies reaching the NW of the Iberian Peninsula on Tuesday morning. The system is sourrounded by a strong cyclonically curved mid-level jet with wind speeds in excess of 35 m/s at 500 hPa on its southern and eastern flanks. Along an axis from the southern UK toward the Alps, a ridge builds at mid levels with significant height rises. A plume of warm air is advected northward across much of western and central parts of Europe. Despite relatively strong lapse rates over western Europe and abundant humidity in some areas, a strong cap will likely prevent convective initiation in most places. Storms may however develop along the edges of the warm air and in the vicinity of mountain ranges. The extent to which this occurs is the greatest factor of uncertainty for this forecast.
