Caught an image of a flash from that cell this morning, added it to the gallery.

Strike off the Manchester cell now, looks like I may be right about this turning in to a squall line.
-
Ok there is definitely large cumulonimbus forming here now, I can see them.
That echo on the radar currently in the Preston area extending down to me is right outside, I can see the structure clear as.
Edit: And looking at that structure and the newer blots on the zoomed radar extending down to the Derby storm it is possible that this could turn in to a line of storms.
-
That shower just now has dispersed and the sun is shining through again, this is weird.
-
Light rain falling here now but with large drops, I can also feel downdrafts coming from somewhere and the sky is turning increasingly dark.
Something is going to kick off here soon.
-
Just been outside and between the gaps in the clouds I can see some quite vigorous convection going on, I can actually feel the updrafts rushing up the valley.
I reckon that from 4 PM onwards we will start to see stuff kicking off here in the north west.
-
Not over yet by any means..
Oh aye not by a long shot, if the cloud here clears completely for the afternoon sun then I wouldn't be surprised to see a supercell or two forming by evening, it feels like a Florida morning here now and this mornings storm has dropped a lot of surface water which will further aid any development.
-
Sun is starting to come through here now and the temperature is rising rapidly as a result, very humid now so it feels incredibly hot already.
-
Darwen, 7 AM.
A weakly electrified storm though it produced some quite nice structured lightning just like that one, I sure am interested in seeing what the rest of the day brings now.
-
Wunderground closest weather station thing says humidity 86% sorry to seem dumb what Exactly does it mean when it is rising?Sorry question sounded better in my head!
It means there is more moisture in the atmosphere and moisture forms clouds, so the more of it during a thundery breakdown the better.
-
Looks good down south there, here we go.
I'll be making sure my video camera is charged up for the week ahead, could get interesting up here due to convective forcing by the hills.
-
Dot..
Lets see if anything further bubbles up here this evening.
-
Indeed, the convection here is really kicking off though there seems to be a cap in the mid layer.
-
Can't say I've ever heard of Asthma being triggered by storms, by humidity maybe but never storms themselves.
This.
As a sufferer myself I find it is far worse before the storms arrival, once one comes through and the rain starts falling it normally abates.
-
I can see that storm in the north out of my window, a bit hazy though so I'm not sure if it would show up in a picture.
-
Was some loud booms around 7 PM here though it did not amount to much, I think it was in the dissipation phase by then though I did see some very nice CB formations on the train home around 5 ish.
-
I think the point is that things changed very quickly as we got into June 2006:

Indeed, I was working on a truck that entire summer as well and I must have lost a good couple of stone because of the heat!
Was nice though and interesting that you pointed it out as I was talking about the similarities this year has with 2006 when I moved back in March, and here we are again with more.
-
Does anyone have the UV index for Thornborough this weekend just gone?
Was part of a film crew at the fire festival up there and my skin now looks like I wandered too close to a thermonuclear weapons test site.
-
Its very strange I mean how far away is Leyland from Blackburn? About 10 miles I'd guess, just don't get it.
More than that, though I think my altitude and being in a valley might have something to do with it.
-
Err, where did all this snow come from?
Looked outside about an hour ago and it was raining heavily, got a hell of a shock when I looked out again just now to find it replaced by heavy snow.
When I got really cold suddenly earlier I thought it was down to me being ill at the moment, I guess not.
-
Explanation unnecessary.
-
Just shot this about 30 mins ago, been like this all day here.
Starts then escalates rapidly for 5 to 10 mins then it is back to blue skies again.
-
Very light pellet like snow has been falling here for a while now causing a new dusting over cleared surfaces, though I don't expect it to amount to much.
-
Left for Manchester around 5 as the left over system hit, scary over the tops in a RWD sports sedan with wide tires in blizzard conditions like that but yay I'm here.
Much less snow down here and the roads are clear, amazing how much difference 1000 FT in altitude makes during events like this.
Now for the big showers over the next 48 hours till I return, to be or not to be.

More strikes on that Manchester cell and it seems to be intensifying as well as growing north..
Right in my direction.
