Very close to going full on MCS now. Transition to elevated happening I suspect. More Belgium storms forming just off the coast as well. Could well combine. AROME but slightly weaker it seems but I'm not sure. It's getting close to the good part.

 Eagle Eye it ain’t a movie scrip lol

Does anyone know how close to me the storms have to be for me to see them off of the French coast? I’m guessing like mid channel or soemthing 

[CoventryWeather]

Best of luck to all anyways tonight! And anyone chasing, stay safe, considering the severity expected.

If you've got that right I'm in a great spot to watch it from my Bed! 

[Eagle Eye]

I have a bad feeling that it'll miss me. Despite it feeling very thundery here. 

[Thunders]

 Eagle Eye same here, it should hit one of us tho 

[offerman]

Think here in West Country we may miss the great of them compared to further east. Good luck to all those in the south and east to see some great storms. 

[Thunders]

I just hope that my birthday gets a nice storms, I don’t care the strength. Especially since it’s at the end of the month we should have a chance. Anyways, beggars can’t be choosers now.

 offerman thanks and good luck to you when it’s your turn to see storms

That NW Bruges cell/s is moving west mmm!!!!

[Eagle Eye]

Having said that new cell to my SW. Given the other cells should be forming quickly. Might actually be going to AROME's idea quite well just a little late.

 Mitch the motorbike storm getting there isn’t it 

I’m guessing it’s becoming a MCS now. I’m also guessing it’s going or about to go elevated
