DISCUSSION
... France to the Alps to the W-Balkan States ...
Once again, diurnal driven thunderstorms evolve. Weak shear and widespread initiation favors rapid upscale growth into numerous and disorganized clusters with erratic storm motions. Main risk during the initiation stage will be isolated large hail, but this hazard switches more to excessive rain.
Ingredients favor a somewhat higher hail threat over Benelux and NW Germany, where steeper mid-layer lapse rates push MLCAPE to more than 800 J/kg. Weak shear however keeps the hail risk in check. Still a marginal level 1 was issued.
