Latest WRF is really going for it for this evening. 400–600 CAPE around the M6 corridor with close to 700 around Preston. Shows heavy convective precip breaking out.
Steering winds look E veering ESE.
Is that a sneaky convergence for this evening possibly? Big spike in CAPE near my location and I noticed a sea breeze trying to come inland around that time.
I think we're too far north for anything overnight and tomorrow though.
There is a very nice fragrant southerly wind this evening. It reminds me of last summer. I smelt a similar wind in Madrid a few weeks ago. It's very addictive but I can't quite put my finger on what exactly the smell is.
This first week of May often seems to have a warm spell or plume. I can remember countless years when it has happened. I always think of it as the first heat/thunder chance of the year.
