Another area of interst includes Belgium, the Netherlands, Luxembourg and most parts of Germany during the daytime hours. As cold mid-levels overspread those areas from the west, steep lapse rates and adequate surface moisture result in at least modest CAPE release (up to 500 J/kg MLCAPE). Shear decreases gradually to the north, but remains supportive for organized thunderstorms with a hail and wind gust risk. An isolated tornado risk is present due to some directional shear and low LCLs, but the overall risk remains low as directional shear component first increases as CAPE decreases (evening and night hours). Thunderstorms decay after sunset.
