An upper low will track slowly across the British Isles on Saturday, with a very deep surface low migrating from the Celtic Sea across the Midlands to the North Sea by the evening. Early showers near southeast England may produce the odd isolated lightning strike. Elsewhere, a wrap-around occlusion will race eastwards across England and Wales, characterised by a band of rain. The risk of lightning with this feature is very low, with the most likely area considered to be Wales / Bristol Channel where instability, due to proximity to warm waters of the Irish Sea, will be greatest. An increase in deep convection is likely during the evening and night hours across the English Channel, feeding across the Channel Islands and close to the Sussex/Kent coasts - here a few sporadic lightning strikes will be possible.
