CONVECTIVE FORECAST
VALID Fri 23 Dec 06:00 - Sat 24 Dec 06:00 2005 (UTC)

FORECASTER: TUSCHY

Thunderstorms are forecast across southwestern Norway

SYNOPSIS

Stable and cool airmass remains over most parts of Europe, which will limit convection development…Ridging present over most parts of central Europe and this, combined with a major upper level trough over eastern Europe, will help for stable conditions.
Main concern for isolated TSTM development will be along the coastal areas of SW Norway...Strong depression will move onshore during the afternoon hours…Some forcing and low-end instability values will be present… LL shear slightly enhanced and I do not want to exclude a waterspout report but otherwise conditions do not look favorable for a more organized TSTM threat.
