Latest satellite and radar shows a line of precipitation that has developed and become more organised from the SW up through Wales and into the NW. Above image, Met Office infrared satellite, i have indicated the area of interest with yellow lines, we can expect hail and very heavy downpours from this and a risk of thunder. A lot of convective activity moving up the Channel, with thunder and lightning off the SE coast/east Channel

Heavy rain and gusty now but what hit here around 0025am for around 10 mins at it's strongest, that was impressive, became fog sheets of torrential driving rain and some very strong gusts estimated at 40-50mph. Rough weather out there tonight. -

Interesting watching this squall heading in, it is possible it might keep some thundery activity as it heads our way, certainly a very gusty wind out there i expect to increase for a while. -
Here is a screen snap of a recent Met Office radar image: Squall line with reported thunder and lightning that can be seen on the lightning detectors, also small hail is being reported along the front to, behind the squall line heading east there are heavy showers moving into the SW. Very strong gusts of wind ahead and along the squall.

From the BBC news this evening http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-20117005 -
I'm copying my post here from SE thread so can be read by all. There's a lot of convection building in the North Sea and that is likely to fire right at the east side of UK until late Saturday(today) as is doing now, but just saying that plenty more wintry showers to come of sleet, hail and snow. A lot of wintry activity in EA right now and these most likely to affect Kent as they move south, but the risk is there further west to. There was some lightning activity overnight in the North Sea(south area)this could mean that further thunder could happen in the heavier wintry showers. ESS

Winter 2012/13 Pt 5... Expectations, Hopes And Wishes
ZONE 51 replied to Jane Louise's topic in Spring Weather Discussion
On CFS model the 546 dam line is on almost all of the run south of the UK for the November run, it would be cold mostly, with at times there would be colder air quite frequently as the line sometimes is over France, this means a below average month mostly, so cold air never to far away with precipitation frequently falling as snow over northern hills and sleet in the south at times, but the model throws in some potent Arctic outbreaks that would bring snow more widely to lower ground. This is the pattern i have seen so far. -

Theres a big blob heading down across into EA now and this should hit the SE soon although it could keep east and drift into Kent...It is now cold enough for snow to fall, and settle most likely on hills i would think.. -
