 viking_smb I have ADHD but thunderstorms don't seem to affect me negatively fortunately..Not yet anyway.

UKV is wrong on the very first frame

[biddie]

 tomp456 They still could be warning out till 9am

Don't bother with the models now that we can see what'll potentially hit us anyway. Some accas still around here but the calm now here. Hopefully the one before the storm. 

[Chris K]

Not sure what to make of tonight/tomorrow morning. Some models have some decent looking storm forecasts cross from SE and through parts of C/S England towards the W country.

Others are showing it to be a damp squib apart from those further SE, where the highest 'energy' looks to be restricted to, with that dreaded morning thundery rain for most.

[Julian 777]

I'm looking forward to the small hours..(I live on a hill in Saltdean just 5-6 miles east of Brighton Pier) My bedroom window faces South-east so I'm hoping for a distant light show if nothing else.

[Thunders]

 Julian 777 eastbourne so should see the same stuff basically

[biddie]

Has gone very humid across Herts.  I notice the band of rain in the west. Could this turn thundery as it moves east into the warm air. Possibly meeting the storms coming up from the continent. I have a feeling that South of London  will get some big ones!

[alexisj9]

sky says ingredients are here, now let's just see what happens

[Julian 777]

 Thunders good luck , hopeful we'll get something .

[Thunders]

 Julian 777 yeah. Hopefully 

[Andy Bown]

 biddie that band of rain is not moving East.

[Dami]

 Thunders Hello fellow Eastbournian! Hope you see some good stuff tonight. Miss the days of sitting up on beachy head watching it come in from france!

[alexisj9]

 Andy Bown it's not meant to.

[Frosty hollows]

Still very calm here. Grey and cooler as the rain passes through 

[Eagle Eye]

It's building right now. But we'll still have to wait till at least the channel to really have that much of an idea. Unfortunately as is often the case with these, we're going to have to have a lot of patience. 

[Thunders]

 Dami won’t be for long, moving to bexhill on Saturday 

[Neilsouth]

 Eagle Eye Lots of Altocumulus coming in now, looking very good for later!

 Thunderspotter It's a date! Just having tea, then kids bed time, tidy up and school prep and I'll back back on after 10!

[Bolt From Blue]

Belgian storms just moving into radar range, looks in a good position for SE, Essex, and hopefully here in Suffolk. I can't see how they are holding up just yet unless someone has any info. Hopefully these storms haven't changed/used up the expected energy profiles and make it across the North Sea. 

[Andy Bown]

 alexisj9 I know! I was replying to someone who thought it WAS MOVING EAST! (This is the problem on here now quotes do not include the words of the post being quoted!) 

[Eagle Eye]

Best guess of direction. 

[viking_smb]

 Eagle Eye im thinking same

[Dami]

 Thunders hope the move goes well
