Cold mid-levels, associated with the approaching Atlantic upper trough, will overspread relatively warm seas during Tuesday night, steepening lapse rates and generating a few hundred J/kg CAPE. Scattered showers will affect exposed coastal areas in the far west, occasionally driven further inland by strong southwesterly steering winds. The combination of marginal CAPE and strong shear should allow a few sporadic lightning strikes.
