Looks like those NE of the Pennines will do the best out of today, I'm too west by the looks of it. -

Showers kicking off over the Pennines - looks spot on for what Metoffice is predicting in their precipitation forecast so far. -

Darren Bown replied to Jane Louise's topic in Storms & Severe Weather
Been a lovely day here, lots of sunshine, but a very stiff wind. Showers have done what I thought so far today, and been prevalent in the S and SW and progressively isolated and weaker further N and E. -

I think it'll be Wales/SW and Southern England that will get the thundery showers, the rest of us having heavy showers. -

Looks like all the energy has been wasted over the N Sea this evening. -

Seems like convective stuff is going off behind this front, it's 15C here, mostly cloudy skies. Next few hours are critical now. -

Today could see a possibility of thunderyness in the west? Although the sun this morning has now given way to cloudy skies. -

Hefty shower just gone up north of here, just been watching it drink up the moisture through a straw! -

MetO keep putting our risk of a shower/storm later and later, gone from 4pm to 8pm now. Big drops been falling, just not warm enough! -

No sunny spells here, but the sky to my south looks really ominous. -

I'm gutted! Last 2 Monday's I've been down in Abingdon/Reading/Aldermaston, and had beautiful weather, and I miss this humdinger this week! -

Glorious morning here, felt much warmer than the last few days, though a little humid. A slight breeze has picked up and apart from a few ac cas (I think) it's a lovely morning. Possibility here of a thundery downpour later, but I reckon the chance is less than 5%. -

Estofex have central UK under a 15% risk of lightning for tomorrow. I'll take that over nothing. Cape and LI look lower tomorrow than earlier, at around 700j/kg and -1 respectively, compared to around 900j/kg and -3 earlier. -

Definitely the eastern part of the band with any sort of energy left in it. -
Convective / Storm Discussion - 30th March 2014 onwards
Darren Bown replied to Jane Louise's topic in Storms & Severe Weather
The eastern side of the front hasn't materialised as it should (by now), but is now just heavy rain with the odd flicker mixed in. EDIT: The track seem to be NWwards (the rain) while the front moves NE, but by the time it gets to NW England, it'll all be in N Ireland and the Irish Sea UNLESS there is development on the eastern side. -

Looks like things are setting off on its eastern edge, exactly what we need! -

Northern Ireland seem in prime spot tonight. Amazing for end of March, fingers crossed I might have something in a good few hours! -

Moisture needs to throw something up around Worcester for mainland England to have something interesting out of this. -

Slightly concerned that the storms will be out in the Irish Sea after passing over Wales, and just some heavy rain here, still feels muggy, but a breeze has now picked up, but the band must pep up in the east if midlands/NW England areas in the warning are to get a soaking! -

Expecting some heavy showers here around 10-11pm tonight, would be great to see lightning too, especially as I have a clear view looking south from my window!
