Just drove Church Stretton to Ludlow and back, and it’s really been coming down nicely the last 90 mins or so.

What’s the general direction of the mid-wales stuff? Welsh Marches here just wondering if likely to see anything tonight
lol walk outside and there’s an insane lightning show to my SW and distant rumbles

Just speaking with my bro in law in Belgrade and people are moving their cars under shelter where possible due to imminent damage from that huge storm which has tracked down from Zagreb. I'll have to see if I can get him to take a vid.
My mate is in Slovenia and said its been a crazy afternoon.

It doesn't look like much on the radar but there's frequent thunder coming from the cell near Craven Arms

A cell has moved over Church Stretton, some thunder and lightning and a little rain but it still feels absolutely oppressive. Explosive convection taking place when you could see clearly earlier and now looking forward to more.

A good 15cm or more in Church Stretton this morning. I went out about 9pm last night to fetch my daughter from a remote workplace and there was a reasonable accumulation then, and its been snowing again since about 6am. I was overseas during the 2018 snowfall so this is the most I've seen since December 2017.

Here's hoping the Marches are in the firing line

Looks like convection is in full swing now over South Shropshire - strong sunshine and clouds bubbling up dramatically in Southern and Western directions
-
It seems to have setup on a convergence line not far from me and stayed put the last hour whilst now extending SW down into W Herefordshire. Quite a lot of activity but seems to be quietening down now.

Remarkable transformation. Got back from a drive just after 8 and the car was showing 9.5C in heavy rain. An hour later I went back out in blizzard conditions showing 0.0. Settled down now but hopefully more to follow.
(Much Wenlock, 590ft asl)

Started snowing here outside Much Wenlock at 600ft asl
Just as I was outside putting the Orthodox Christmas roast on the charcoal rotisserie, which was a nice touch.

Yesterday up until 9pm there were 2 small storms over Central England,.. a huge storm moving North across Wales,.
and lightning strikes dotted around Edinburgh all day,.
People were saying .. what a disappointing day...... and then formed and erupted a huge storm North of Hereford,. that slowly Trundled and changed shape.. all the way to Crewe ,. and then to the North East
today looks far more positive earlier in the day,. but even if it's not keep up the hope,. it could be another booming night.Yep, just before 10pm last night I was sat outside watching lightning from the storm that had passed up over Bromsgrove way, thinking the night was over.
15 minutes later I was under the most intense electrical storm I've ever seen in this country, and that's saying something after seeing the storms over Mid-wales the night before at a distance. It didn't approach - it just ignited a few miles to the south and east of me.
Looks like there is the potential for the same again today but over a much wider area.
