Today I chase
On a job near Bedford which should be done late morning then I'm good for wherever I need to head, vans fully fueled and stocked and I'll be out for the duration.
Just treated myself to the netweather extra package so all the info I need
Thinking I'll head to the leicester area as the set up (convergence zone) seems very similar to yesterday, and follow them north
Good luck everyone

It would be quite a trek and you’ve got to ask yourself about
1) likelihood of a full or partial bust2) chances of being in the right place at the right time
3) is it worth chasing on a slight risk? These may not be long-lived storms
4) the long drive home afterwards (storms travelling NE so you might end up following them even further away
Exactly the issues
Got nothing on today so tempted but...

To chase or not to chase.
I'm in Bournemouth so it's a bit of distance to get to the potential action.
If you were me where would you be heading???

All parts of the cells have developed when they reached land in the UK, could be a sign for more of that everywhere ^-^
That's what. I'm hoping for the stuff just hitting bmouth and Poole, otherwise I'm getting wet for bugger all

First chase of the year.....and breaking multiple laws.
Just rod down to the cliff tops on bmouth beach, few drinks in, no lights and a small flask of red wine which I'm gonna sit and enjoy....past my allowed rest time
Distant flashes and low rumbles, and the odd police car.
Happy storm season everyone

Taken from the netweather storm forecast
"Upper trough moving in from the west will engage frontal boundary "
Is that what we're seeing cause the line of shows near the IOW?

Out fishing for the night near Harlow. Gone very hazy here after so heavy rain.
Think we need to keep a close eye on the line of showers currentlyover the IOW
There track and timing is in line with the forecast main event over the London area??
-
At Cambridge services, direct hit imminent
-
Change of plans.
The storm I was gonna chase towards peterbourgh has died.
Gonna head east towards Cambridge and intercept the north London cells

I've set myself up in the Huntington services NW of Cambridge and the stuff around luton is heading my way, not electrified yet but looking like I've pi led an OK place to chase from.
-
Gonna get on the A1M
Think this is gonna give me the best chance of intercepting storms as they are gonna be mitering along.
But first Mc Donald's for the road trip

Meto radar seems bullish on storms later
Storms moving up from Cornwall whilst a second batch forms further east over the IOW and moves North.
Shame its being so sluggish though, it may lose its spark by the time it reaches Hull as it'll be so late in the night...
I'll take that. Fishing in Harlow but if it goes bang within 50 miles of here the chase is on!!!!

Very nice. Do you get the locals popping around to give you 'bovver'? It can be a bit dodgy around parts of Caterham... Nice and close to a tree, too, for added action.
hopefully not. planning on having my dinner and getting a bit of sleep, going to leave the tailgate open so I hopefully get rudely awaken

Evening all.
Well looks like my early nights going out the window, absolutely shattered from a cider festival at weekend......but the chase is on.
Currently in west London (stay in the van for work in the week) but going to relocated for the night too Caterham view point on the southern edge of M25.
Anyone in the area pop by and say hi, you can't miss my, bright orange transit van
Good luck all
