Ben Sainsbury Excellent, only being following GFS so far. Any you recommend to keep an eye on it? Mostly just follow on an on-the-day type of way with HRRR etc.

Tomorrow looks better and better to me. Moisture returns and a dry-line sets up by the look of things.
HRRR 20z tomorrow
HRRR 23z tomorrow
HRRR 02z Wednesday
Some dew points into the 60s just. Looks like a late show for us watching in the UK though
And then this is stunning to look at for Sunday too. 18Z GFS. Watching the SPC in the morning for an update.

In fact this is tomorrow nights Nadocast. Solid area of 5% tornado risk but all hazards are possible.
Definitely Will be watching until I fly out

Out from 23rd May through 8th June. Hoping for a good year too! 3 days of road tripping from San Antonio to Denver to meet WeatherHolidays Tour 3 for the storm chasing. And I can't help but notice that road trip takes us across tornado alley to get to Denver too

Brilliant blue flashes of heat (lol) lightning to the West. Literally electric blue.

Lightning high in the clouds very distantly to the West of Macclesfield. Wind picking up but no thunder yet. Not got a good feeling about it, wondering about not chasing it. Looks like it really packs a punch.

There's quite a pronounced squall-line developing in the Irish Sea which is inbound for the NW overnight with plenty of active strikes within the convection core, this would be the area expected to bring the strongest gales by morning and possibly some localised sferics before making it's way Eastwards.
Looking at going out but finding somewhere to position to watch it when Liverpool to Manchester along M62 is quite a hard pick!

Looks like the pressure bottomed out at 973hpa in the area I mentioned.
From the current time is where concerns will increase as the SRH begins to intensify and the cells are beginning to take a supercellular appearance on radar
As mentioned it is the exact same principle

All sides of a hurricane can be dangerous but the right side tends to be the most dangerous and the strongestLiterally came on this forum to have a look for comments because of the shape of those cells on radar. Scary looking!

Very dark heavy clouds over head in Macclesfield now. Not a breath of wind, misty, and eerie.

A line going up from Liverpool to Central Wales? Anything of note?

Very disappointing day up here yet AGAIN. Whenever we get these warnings of severe weather and thunderstorms the best we actually get is a few minutes of convective rain. Happens every bloody time.
Still stupidly humid and sticky here.
Not convinced it's all done to be honest.

Can hear thunder now from cell approaching the NE.
That might be interesting for everyone taking part in The Great North Run

Got a few good rumbles and a couple of flashes of I-C lightning between Stoke-on-Trent and Tean earlier. Photo from a pub in Tean, Staffordshire and sunset from Cheadle, Staffordshire.

With a chance of this weekend being the last large thunderstorm days, decided I’m going to head on my first two day chase. Today going to target a few isolated thunderstorms over the East Mids, ready then to get into position for what could be a big day tomorrow.
Still a lot of uncertainty for tomorrow, so remains to be seen what my exact plans are going to be. Let me know if any of you are also going to be out chasing!
Likely that I will pop out into the Midlands or somewhere from Macclesfield when I see storms pop.

Torrential rain showers on and off very quickly for the last 2 hours and several rumbles of thunder. No lightning seen yet.

My eyes are on Stoke-on-Trent developments, as the sun is making an appearance here.
It seems to have gone up ahead of the line of others and its isolated at the moment

Finished editing and uploading the footage from Sunday from the North York Moors and eventually ending up near Bridlington. Although storms weren't as spectacular as I had hoped it was a nice day out and there were some decent storms. Probably the most picturesque storm chase I have ever done, with scenery and views. I also don't think I ever remember as many members from Netweather chasing on the same storms either. It is good to see storm chasing in the UK getting more interest
Great video. Scarily similar to how mine started. Wetherby Services then Sutton Bank!

Brilliant chase yesterday of some 200 miles. Not bad for the UK! Headed out from Macclesfield with my partner, with a target of Broxton just South of Chester. God there to a grey haze but nothing amazing.
So we headed to Wrexham and then down to Oswestry where it kicked off. Inky black skies and booming thunder.
Ended up just West of Llangollen to watch lightning bounce round the valleys, a shear funnel. Coming back through Llangollen about 1730 was a treat. Large hail actually donking the roof and windscreen and quite a lot of it. Some stones upto .75 of an inch!
Ended back in Macclesfield with another storm about 7.30pm to finish the day off.
Pictures to come!
