Not looking too hot for us at the minute radar wise but no doubt it's very humid as proven by my drenched self post run earlier. Still early days.
-
The cells looked pretty good from this far away, impressive size.
Of course in this flow we get nothing but a bit of high cloud. It's been a fair time since we had any rain now.

Back in N Yorkshire for three days. Dry, bright and quite warm in Whitby but a heavy shower on my way across the Moors to the coast. Good to see lots of people around, but looks as though tomorrow's bank holiday will be a bit of a washout and expecting most long weekenders to leave early.
An interesting bit of sea mist / fret on the coast at 5pm. Lythe at the top of the hill was clear but Sandsend at the bottom by the sea was obliterated from view. The fog whistle was blowing at Whitby but the mist then disappeared as quickly as it came.
Very pronounced sea fret at Scarborough today. It was quite odd in that the sun was out above mostly but it was foggy also. At times you couldn't even see the sea from the beach in sun, very strange and eerie.

Marked storm here, 6-7 close flashes and cracks almost immediately, a few further away, moderate rain at times , total 5 mm; storm seemed to develop as it moved over and east of me
Agreed, very frequent lighting close to me tripping the electric etc. Impressive.
-
Decent storm chances today, about time.

I suspect thst would be a bit too far north given the gravity wave comes from the convergence line so you want to be really close to that but not on it. You'll then have a good view to your south and hopefully storms around you so you can make a decision on where you chase for better views.
If I was chasing and not working I'd be staying put here and seeing what pans out. Good links all directions from this area (M18/M1/m180/m62) so fairly easy to move.
If anyone does head this way plan around avoiding the A1 north of Doncaster, horrendous roadworks will kill you.

Obviously not been keeping up with forecasts, very wet out there tonight.
-
Maybe 3-4cm or something like that here which is more than expected. Good enough to build a few small snowpeoplefor the kids. Thawing very quick here though with a lot of standing water. It was already super slippy in the slush this morning.

South Yorkshire possibly a sweet spot
It's going to be so marginal for parts of South Yorkshire, could be some very big differences in these parts.
Snowed all morning here mostly with a brief sleet spell but all surfaces free of snow. I think we'll be too far east and low down.
My poor little boy has still had no chance to play in snow, shame for him.

I am wondering if Doncaster will get a lot of snow today
Forecasts suggest not. Could be one of those where one side of town gets the snow and this side doesn't.

Be good to see how it pans out next day or so. Suspect we'll see mostly sleet and rain here, we do struggle for snow in Doncaster, just too low down.
Will be fun in the peaks though.
-
It's going to be difficult to sustain much snow on the ground in March if it does fall at any point, certainly at my level anyway, maybe less so a bit mor elevated.
I'd rather we got loads of snow or none at all personally, but I'm no big snow lover
-
Nasty out there, made for a blooming horrible run tonight. First proper wind of winter here really.
-
Fog didn't take long to form here as ever. Certainly very wintry out there. Ice of course being a nightmare for us runners.
-
Very very wet. Just seen 14mm has fallen near Gainsborough in the last hour.

I was 3-weeks old when it hit! I wish it'd waited until I was old enough to remember it
There's a Channel 5 documentary tonight about it. I hope it isn't dumbed down nonsense, given the stuff that usually airs on that channel.-3 days for me. I suspect had my mother not travelled north to give birth with family members around (military father was away), that it wouldn't have been pleasant for her on the south coast. Maybe I'd have been born in the storm?
Funny that things like this go on to define your life, this and black Monday will never escape me.

Up in the south of Scotland this evening and the rain has been outrageously heavy with plenty hail mixed in too and a couple of loud cracks of thunder. Quite impressive overall.

Nice little defined core on this one. Bigger storm behind will be the one north of Barnsley.

By far the best storm of the year here, impressively bright cg's.

That may be this one I guess. Excuse the reflection.

Actually you might be right, its going to be down the left of donny. Can see lightning from where i am, just no thunder
I'm in the office just off the a1 looks very dramatic out the window, looks inbound for here I'd agree.

Despite the torrential radar echoes, there's far less lightning with these cells further north tonight. The areas heading for here looks mighty on radar but hasn't chucked out any lightning for a good while now, unfortunately.
Agreed, been watching that way for a while but nothing doing. Can see the odd flash more to the nw though, guess it's the stuff over Lancashire. It will never fail to amaze me how far away you can see a storm at night.
Ironically after a poor year for storms we went away for the night last night and missed it.

Haha, GFS 6Z going for 42C on Tuesday in parts of the region, with everywhere but the tops of Pennines and the coats being 40C, even Middlesborough is listed as 40C.
This is farcical. The way it's going, somewhere in Yorkshire / Lincolnshire is almost certainly going to break the 40C.
It's slightly scary. It's 30c here where I am on holiday and have needed medication for the chest. 35+ is too hot, so to think what it could be at home next week without aircon does worry me a little as a parent of two young kids.
But alas as ever we cannot control the weather just deal with it.

Likewise and no drop of rain either. The band to the south is fragmenting somewhat too so that may well be all for us storm wise though I'd welcome at least some rain.
