The main risk for lightning will be across central and eastern Ireland as rain clears to the north and east and some sunshine develops. Unstable air across Ireland with steepening lapse rates and CAPE values of 500-600 J/kg will develop into the afternoon in response to diurnal heating and turn showers heavy with the risk of SLIGHT risk of lightning. This zone will shift north and east through the day, perhaps into some of southwestern Scotland. Deep layers shear is weak, so updrafts will not be long lasting therefore the main risk today will be from localised flooding. Slightly greater low-level shear is forecast for far northeastern Ireland and SW Scotland, and in those areas a few funnels are possible.
