    Sat in Macc down below trying to make a decision.

    Watching out for that storm that just popped North of Uttoxeter, should be coming my way soon!

    Cooler and fresher today here, not as sticky, very thin haze but otherwise blue sky. Some Altocumulus castellanus around last night and this morning, but the breeze here is pretty strong. It's a warm breeze without feeling oppressive. In other words, feels like walking out of a hotel very early morning in Amarillo in May! Hoping for something during this upcoming week!

    Breif heavy shower in Macclesfield with big convective rain drops about 15 minutes ago.

    Seems to be 2 or 3 squall line type features seemlingly setup at the moment across England.

    Nice 5% tornado risk in far North Western North Dakota tonight, with 15% hatch hail risk. Wonder if you'll get a tornadic supercell straddling the International Border like the Estevan day in 2018???

    One crack of thunder about 5.00pm in Macclesfield from a moderate shower as it passed up over the hills. Some really torrential showers here today, more so than that one, that didn't produce thunder. Strange!

    Absolutely oppressive here in Macclesfield now. Big heavy clouds bubbling up as they go over, feels like it might not be long before it cracks now.

    Did not expect the stuff South of me over the Welsh border to explode like that at 9am in the morning?! Crazy.
  10. MikeUpjohn
    Sure I've just heard a very distant rumble of thunder from the South East here in Macclesfield.
  11. MikeUpjohn
    Looking good. Potentially heading out in an hour or so if it holds together, somewhere onto the Cheshire Plains.
  12. MikeUpjohn
    Are we in with a chance up this way again today?
  13. MikeUpjohn
    Decent storm over between Macclesfield and Buxton just before. One cracking bolt of lightning that made the sheep scatter while I was on top. Might have been a positive bolt.
  14. MikeUpjohn
    Light shower here, which I will take until I've been for my run, but rain drops the size of 50p pieces falling. Huge splats as they fall!
  15. MikeUpjohn
    heading out after work and a quick run. I'm not expecting to be as lucky as yesterday, but concerns with 3 hours before I can go as to whether it will have all moved out. Hoping more develop later around Stoke Macc way and move out to the NW as its flat out over the plains for me!
  16. MikeUpjohn
    Lots of heat lightning in Macclesfield now
  17. MikeUpjohn
    Here is the video finally on Youtube of the funnel cloud I saw in Winsford, Cheshire this evening. All 4 minutes or so, including it roping out. It had rising motion about 5 minutes before this from the other side of the cell, and it also appeared to show some form of brief mesocyclone before rapid rising motion and this funnel appearing. Enjoy! Mike.
  18. MikeUpjohn
    Can see lightning in Macclesfield too from the Stoke cell every minute or so.
  19. MikeUpjohn
    Just got back home after 3 hours and lots of flash flooding and some great lightning. Got on the cell near Sandbach and followed to Middlewich and then Winsford. In the side roads there I witnessed a 4 minute half condensed cone funnel cloud about a mile South East of me. Noticed the storm immediately before looked sort of surface based with rising motion and a sort of mesocyclone shape to it and 2 minutes later a large funnel over the fields. Video to come
  20. MikeUpjohn
    Sandbach. Thunder.
  21. MikeUpjohn
    In Macclesfield, debating whether the ones near Nottingham will come over the Pennines and down into Cheshire, or whether to head South West towards the Stafford cell thats moving up.
  22. MikeUpjohn
    Gave up a little too early last night, as we had a shower about 8pm, and thought it was all over. Went for a walk and amazingly, 10 to 11pm, watching the cell over Northwich and Warrington as it went Livepool way and had the pleasure of the updraft lighting up like a lightbulb every minute or so. Gutted, that yesterday the spring in my car broke, so can't drive, else would have either been after it or up somewhere high with a tripod, timelapsing it. More today though!
  23. MikeUpjohn
    Feels decent in Macclesfield, definitely a stickyness in the air and bubbling Cumulus. I've hung my washing out this morning for the first time in weeks, a sure sign of a deluge!
  24. MikeUpjohn
    Seeing quite a bit of lightning on this now!
  25. MikeUpjohn
    Hoping to be out in the NW of England tomorrow based on the last forecast which I saw this morning. See what I can get. Best I can do as I can't be out with Netweather this year.
