“Isolated tornadoes” are on the playing cards in addition to “occasional lightning”, “hail” and wind gusts of as much as 70mph. TORRO says: “An area of low pressure will move NNE to the west of the area today.

“To the east of this, a barely unstable airmass shall be current. Several bands of showery rain are anticipated to maneuver NNE throughout the dialogue space, and lightning is already current inside this to the south of SW England. Strong deep-layer shear coupled with higher forcing will possible trigger the precipitation to align into traces. Strong low-level shear shall be current too.

“Heavier cores within the lines will be able to mix-down stronger flow from just above the boundary layer, bringing the risk of gusts of 50-60mph, perhaps locally 70mph in the most extreme cases. Hail is possible in the stronger cores too, as well as a few CG lightning strikes.

“Finally, whilst the overall tornado threat is low, given the linear nature of much of the activity, there is a low-end chance of one or two developing, especially within a core of stronger 850 hPa flow, from parts of SW England into Cent S England and the southern Midlands.”
