SYNOPSIS

At 06 UTC on Wednesday, a frontal zone stretches from eastern Spain across southeast France and northeast Germany to northern Poland. It separates a warm air mass with relatively steep lapse rates to its east from cooler air to its west.

A mid/upper-level trough is initially located near 8 W and forecast to move eastward during Wednesday.

A wave is in the front is expected to evolve with an area of low pressure developing over France and moving northward into the Benelux countries. A major driver behind the pressure falls is likely the latent heat release in abundant convection across France.

On the eastern fringe of the low pressure system, a mid-level jet is expected to strengthen, reaching wind speeds of 20-25 m/s at 700 hPa.
