Severe weather weekly forecast for central Europe 25.4. - 1.5. 2011

Week 5 : April 25th - May 1st

High pressure system still mostly dominates Europe. Scattered thunderstorms are forecast across most of central and eastern Europe for Monday. Marginal cape is available in those areas with the largest CAPE (around 500-600 J/kg) in N-Italy, Slovenia and Hungary. Weak DLS will prevent severe weather with the exception of a small jet-stream above Slovakia, Austria and Poland where 20 m/s is present and could produce some large hail and/or strong wind. Strong convergence is present along the Dinaric mountains in Slovenia and eastern Alps region in Austria towards Hungary. This is where the convection will likely fire first.


With the maximum temperatures around 20°C later this week, severe weather will be diminished, but the potential returns in the beginning of May, when GFS is drawing some interesting setups.
