Stormyking

I feel the pain Harry considering it will be very close indeed and i might pop down the sea front just incase i catch a few distant flashes can only hope and keep fingers crossed.

Hmm im wonder whether it will be worth for me to pop down the sea front or up on culver downs hopefully I might get lucky and see some distant lightning looking at that rain chart looks possible .

Any AcCas clouds up that area yet ? I will be tracking this today as it might get a bit interesting hopefully

Getting to that time now when I am now storm tracking but checking it out for the North as it looks interesting for you lot up North today and good luck to all of you .

:o:O I juust saw this and my mouth just dropped, that is just insane , best hail video I have ever seen.

Hi all Today well now it was yesterday started off dryish but about 7am we had an unexpected shower which produced very big spots of rain but wasnt all that heavy though was suprised to see it. Anyway as the day went on it was a sunny and warm day with a breeze about but it wasn't a cold breeze. This evening there was a beutiful sunset and over ventnor downs there was a big fog bank over hanging the downs which looked stunning indeed, sadly we just missed out on 20c by about 0.5c but that was probably due to the breeze, but still felt very pleasant. Current temperature out there is 9.9c

Yeh sunday does look the better day for northern areas and the fact that there is some quite nice cape for sunday too up north so will have to keep and eye on it.

Yes it is looking interesting for northern ares over the weekend with some decent cape and LI of around -3/-4 showing I reckon some could spark off :winky: It shows a bit more of a risk more southern areas on Monday or tuesday on latest run but I think this is too far to tell so far but fingers crossed

Pass 2 days have been gorgeous and warm though bit more of breeze today but its not a cold breeze :winky: Looks like the next week looks beutiful until tuesday so far long may it continue

ECM still brings that damn northerly , I hope its only temporary for some reason I have go this sudden feeling that GFS is going to follow ecm on the next run :/, I hope im 100% wrong,

Yes thought not as warm/hot as the other one but it looks very good again lets see if ECM wants to bring in the warmth I find it quite extroadinary and interesting that back in November showed absolute no sign for the really cold winter thats passed and now for the pass month it was showing sign on warmth etc and now it's showing a very nice warm spell indeed and I am just wondering if summer 2010 could end up being hot and beutiful, Fingers crossed and keeping positive still for this summer

, FI is horrible but it should change in next run as usual . However reliable timeframe looks very good and very nice long dry warm or very warm spell by tuesday onwards with some very nice temperatures of low to mid twenties by next weekend .

Yup and am looking forward too it so I can get some fishing done 14c lows sounds good infact very good considering of what this spring has been like but yeh it is looking like a very nice spell of weather coming up indeed Lets see what 00z brings tomorrow well today now so Night all

Cheers mate, most of our storms for this time onwards until august time are mainly elevated and yeh I know it wont be there on the 00z but thought it would be interesting to point out and now I have learned fully what a plume is now which is why I posted it . Anyway also interesitng to see stuff like this even if they dont stay on there for long

I must say that here has been quite good for convection from wednesday onwards and to go with that we had an interesting day on thursday with A) plenty of heavyish showers in the afternoon with 2 of them had sleet with them IN MID MAY another thing was the funnel cloud and the amount of rotation in the clouds and last but not least a beutiful shelf cloud had developed which was overshooting an old CB which was behing a Heavy sleet curtan suprisingly . Friday the day started off sunny and kinda chillyish but started to warm up and a developing CB started to develop at about 11:45am infront of my eyes and became bigger and bigger and the IOW had developed its own shower/showers, this had turned out to be a fairly big CB with some amazing colour in there and produced some very big spots of rain but the main of it was just to the East of me. As the afternoon went we kept getting hit by showers for a good few hours with 1 in particular gave heavy rain along with hail an dlasted for a good 30 minutes. We then got hit by another shower at about 3pm which then I found out it was the same shower I had got hit by before I got on the bus back home from college, though it had weekend by the time it got too Sandown which is where I went too and didnt have hail but was still pretty heavy rain with big spots. This turned out to be the last shower of the day and all of the showers that day died as they hit the sea. So all in all a much better week in terms of a bit of action and interest in the weather and now fingers crossed for a hot and thunery summer

Sorry I havent posted reports the pass day or 2 been busy bowling but will make it up tomorrow with a big one. Anyway today was nice start but then clouded over a bit but felt pleasantly warm and by about 1:50pm we had a little very light shower and then a couple more very light showers for the next 2 hours. After this it was dry and very nice pleasant evening indeed and quite warm.

I could be completely wrong here but it looks to me that at about T+288 it shows some sort of plume can anybody help me by saying if this is a plume or not?

Hi all Today has been another Interesting day with a few showers about and one came over with a huge CB and also what looked like a wall cloud as it passed over. As the day went on we have been played by more showers but along with some decent sunny spells and light winds and has not felt as cold as it has done for the pass 2 days due to the lighter winds. Current Temperatures around the Island starting from the Highest: 1. Newchurch/ Sandown: 12.5c 2. Newport: 12.5c 3. Freshwater: 12.2c 4. Woxall: 11.8c 5. Bleaktown: 11.2c Maximum Temperatures: 1. Newport: 13.7c 2. Freshwater: 12.9c 3. Newchurch/ Sandown: 12.9c 4. Bleaktown: 12.8c 5. Wroxall: 12.4c Minimum Temperatures: 1. Wroxall: 0.9c 2. Freshwater: 2.5c 3. Newport: 2.6c 4. Newchurch/ Sandown: 3.4c 5. Bleaktown: 3.6c So overally Maximum and Minimum Temperatures are up by about 1c than the previous 2 days so all in all the rise in temperatures begins

Theers a huge CB like almost ovef me and looks spectacular and rather thundery and feels it too

It is a right old tough thing to end and I think that could be the case but I really hope a change comes soon, but then I spose its all part of the fun with the weather and basically like a game you win some and you lose some But yeh I really can't see the atlantic being quiet for very long soon and knowing our luck in the past 3 years it will probably wake up in the summer and over us but apart from that I just hope we get a few plumes this summer

Thankyou for sharing these, they are unbelievable and are amazing especially that Tornadic one Hi there Joggs I bet that must of put a smile on your face knowing that you witnessed the worst storm fro 25 years of where you was at the right time, sounds very Impressive, was there much thunder and lightning with this storm along with the rain and hail?

It was looking good but then goes colder again from T+216 onwards just before right at the end of the run, I know its way far out into FI but from T+360 onwards it has the Jet pushing north and then over us but at least it shows it pushing up and a bit warmer weather again aswell but yeh unfortuenatly it is way way too far out to say.

This is a very good point, I would rather that block further east to allow the southerly plumes which be very good for Hot weather with Thunderstorms , but where the Jet is posistioned now is not looking very good for the summer if Atlantic was to wake up which I can see happening soon :/. However this current run looks very nice for next week with 21c showing on wednesday so far.

Heavy sleet shower in Apse heath which is near center of the Island and there is a big shelf cloud overshooting the CB to my NNW this is beutiful.

Just had another heavyish shower pass threw and is feeling chilly out there, It is very dark to my N/ NW .
