I have a strong feeling that Kent (and maybe Essex) - might get quite a show later

dehydration prob !

lots of blue sky now too with definate mid-level instability visible go go

hot and humid in Essex lovely weather

Patches of blue sky in Essex and approaching 25 plus

yeah sun strong at this time of year when I came home at lunch yesterday - my conservatory thermometer was reading 53c !

blue skies in Essex going to be a hot - and hopefully stormy one

whats that hook like shape North-West France on Radar ? S-East of Jersey on map dry air ?

how is speed on your S4 ? great app -but runs VERY slow on my Note 3

I had gut feeling this morning that most of South may just get "thundery" rain and S-East may get nothing but had chance of severe imported storms we shall see

looks to me that by far all our best chances are early Friday afternoon my concern is that it might play out that the storms North France chuck out a load of upper level cloud we get a load of morning murk on Friday temperatures don't have chance to rise as high as models suggest, so we get even lower CAPE and we're left with a mass of "thundery rain" especially since peak instability is quite early in day - not much time for temps to recover if we have murk in the morning I'd reckon west of spine of country has best chance of home grown storms - but nothing particularly exciting I think S-East "may" have a chance of some decent imports -but low chance

Not looking as promising on the 0z run to me

all over ?

Mapanz -well they got the East of Ireland bit right

good decision I reckon Harry the storms to the East are quite fast moving and I'd reckon you'd have slim chance to intercept I'm interested in the stuff to S-West of London currently - but could just be thundery rain when gets to Essex - just hoping it may develop

everything just skirting to east of here - Chelmsford atm - but lots of lightning and thunder have interest in that next set to the S-West of London - if that can develop with some morning heat - might pass direct over Essex that cell over Rochester looks quite potent

18z makes me think make most of this evening !!

ok I take back what I said just come back from a 6 mile club run - and didn't feel humid out at all - in fact felt quite fresh not looking too stormy atmosphere wise either

have a feeling the S-East will do well from this expecting one more slight shunt east

looking forward to some storms in Essex tonight pity I've running club first ! - going to be hard-work - not great in heat/humidity

before dawn Friday now of interest ?

still chucking it down in Chelmsford with snow -really big flakes

snowing here in chelmsford too

going back up again now prob gps error you can see it going back up on your screenshot above

very strange thunder here in Chelmsford like constant grumbling - a grumble every 20 seconds or so
