Risque orageux diffus dans le sud-est puis arrivée d'une traîne active dans un contexte tempétueux dans le nord-ouest la nuit prochaine.

Un thalweg d'altitude étroit et peu dynamique est positionné sur le centre du pays ce matin. Il migre vers l'est pour évacuer la France en fin de journée.
Parallèlement, un nouveau système dépressionnaire arrive par l'ouest ce mardi après-midi. La dépression tempétueuse Petra, qui s'est creusée de manière explosive la nuit dernière au sud-ouest de l'Irlande, pilote une perturbation active qui balaie tout le pays d'ici la fin de nuit prochaine. A l'arrière du front froid, le thalweg d'altitude gagne l'ouest de la France avec un nouveau refroidisssement sensible de la masse d'air à l'étage moyen, ainsi favorable au développement de la convection de masse d'air froid.
