    Shhhhhh don't say that we need some storms here in Basildon! I think we may get the weaker storms and they strengthen as day time heating occurs tomorrow, with all that cape to tap into. But I hope I'm awoken by a storm in the early hours, I love that feeling.

    I won't be in Basildon as I'm off driving around the south and east, be sure to give any reports if anything happens.

    Also could you edit your profile to include your location, it helps a lot! Thanks

    I think some people should accept they may not see a storm tomorrow. It's always been the case that a Thames Streamer or Kent clipper has happened that it was basically an import. Our weather is so dynamic that forecasting is not always an exact science, coupled with the fact that London acts as an UHI then anything is possible and may become a breeding ground for all points north

    For tomorrow I wouldn't be placing the emphasis on the south east but more to the north and west of the severe risk area, it's just a gut feeling!!

    Essex Weather Centre (normally pretty reliable) just tweeted that the biggest risk in Essex tomorrow is from 05:00 - 13:00... 

    Anytime after 07:00 will do me fine, since I hate being woken up early! 

    Game on!! Tomorrow I'm driving from Basildon to Aylesford in Kent, then to Chessington, then Littlehampton then back to Basildon. If I don't see a flash during that time I'll be a tad disappointed!

    Hi all, I'm a long-term lurker I've finally decided to sign up.

    Can anyone on the south-coast see any cloud build up yet? I'm based in Southend and often sit on the seawall when storms come in as you can see them coming up over the North Downs, the Medway and over the Thames Estuary. Last year we had some fantastic cloud formation preceding one thuderstorms, so I'm hoping for something today.

    Hi Sentinel and welcome to the group. I'm keeping an eye on this webcam as anything hitting Brighton is likely to have our name on it.

    I've not seen a warning like this!!

    http://www.metoffice.gov.uk/public/weather/warnings/#?tab=warnings&regionName=ee&fcTime=1473980400

    An area of torrential, thundery rain is expected to develop across the region during early Friday morning bringing the potential for exceptionally large amounts of rain within a few hours. Frequent lightning and hail may be additional hazards. Whilst there remains some uncertainty about developments and areas affected, there could be major disruption. Please be prepared for the potential for very severe weather conditions bringing flash flooding and disruption to transport.

    A cold front approaching moist, unstable air is expected to generate a line of exceptionally heavy, thundery rain. Possible sustained hourly rates of more than 30 mm could result in totals of more than 100 mm in 3-4 hours. Particularly in urban areas, this could lead to flooding of properties and businesses and major disruption to transport.
