ESTOFEX (European Storm Forecast Experiment) has issued a level one convective weather warning for parts of central Europe today. The warning affects northern France, Belgium, Luxembourg and western and central Germany. The main risks in thunderstorms forming in these areas are isolated tornados and strong straight-line winds. The thunderstorm activity is predicted to increase towards the afternoon, and the convective storms will dissipate after sunset due to the lack of energy.
