Tornado warning for Yorkshire as Storm Debi hits UK

Severe Weather Forecaster, Torro, has warned of one or two tornadoes that could hit Yorkshire on Monday . This comes as the Met Office issues a danger to life weather warning for the region amid Storm Debi which is set to hit today. Flood alerts are also in place in some parts.

The forecaster said: "A rapidly deepening Atlantic low, named Storm Debi, will move into the RoI and N Ireland overnight. The frontal system will cross the area after midnight and through Monday morning . Very high winds associated with the low will affect parts of the RoI, and portions of the UK, catered for by warnings from the national weather services in both jurisdictions.

"Strong shear, both deep layer and low level, will be present, enough for a few storms to become organised, perhaps with low-topped supercells. The very high low-level shear may allow for the development of a few tornadoes. The highest chance would appear to be in a line from SW RoI, through parts of mid/N Wales into the Midlands and eastern England, near the triple point of the system. However, the box is somewhat larger, just to cater for the chance of development elsewhere.
