Storms and Convective discussion - May 2024

[Jon Somerset]

Well the forecast seems to be right. Loads of action about 30 miles to the north but settled and sunny with a nice breeze here now.

[summer blizzard]

 WeatherArc Fantastic cloudscape. Looks like it should get going somewhere near the West Midlands.

 Rush2019 The roads are still busy for now but I've found a little spot off the main routes until the traffic calms down and there's more parking options, plenty of CU bubbling up but nothing breaking the cap here just yet.

[Turquoise]

 Rush2019 you probably won't even need to travel mate, it may come to you rather than you go to it

[FBR]

 Lynxus currently sat outside the Turmot Hoer watching everything going either side of us

[Sparkiee storm]

Bubbling up here too, out and about to get some good views.

[The PIT]

The one just leaving the Bristol channel seemed to have a hook feature while over the water.

[Daz Baker]

Unfortunately nothing is happening in Bristol...sunny and warm and nearly all the neighbours doing their gardens...lots of Cumulus about though

[Rush2019]

 Turquoise  Yes, it may be on track for our location, that is why i'm dithering about going out, ahhh decisions....decisions. 

[Turquoise]

 Rush2019 it's a very tough one, I'd personally give it anohter 30-60 mins to see if anything changes and go from there...it's your call though. I'd say we are probably right in the best location already and the current storms are following the path they were predicted to, it's just whether they can last, but the models suggest they will

 Wade  just come off the water in cardiff bay as we had a race on 

Very interesting to say the least 

committee boat fould its prop whilst towing dinghies in and i was tied up with towing others in so had harbour master to assist 

[WeatherArc]

These things absolutely spitting out lightning at the moment.

[viking_smb]

 WeatherWatchmanG

Loads of lightning here 

[Coops241180]

Things are starting to rise a bit here. 

[stormwatcher20]

Starting to look promising here  

[CoventryWeather]

Ross on wye cell producing a lot of small cells around it. Might get messy with that soon.

[yozza1987]

Starting to go dark in Worcester, Dark clouds coming from south west direction (Malvern area), have had a few rumbles in the last 10 minutes

[Liamkaboom]

Crazy so far!

[Lynxus]

 FBR yep. Pretty standard

Hopefully something forms south of us this side of the river.

 

Storms seem to be going dead north right now.

[LIGHTNING ACTION]

lots of lightning on the radar, the website is lagging

[stormwatcher20]

This is developing fast now.

 

Edit: just a few mins later.

Ross on wye cell is a right mover I believe. Past few frames are suspicious with all the activity. 

[summer blizzard]

Starting to tower. 

 

[Michael Jd Scott]

A few flashes of lightning with constant distant thunder, and the odd much closer, ...and as writing this just had two very close flashes

[WeatherArc]

 CoventryWeather Looks like it, but not 100%. Difficult to tell with the cell in its rear flank, does have a classic V or flying eagle shape though.
