Just regarding the Met Office Amber warning area, which took me by surprise given that Central Southern England seemed more at threat with Severe storms than The South West according to model outputs earlier. (Would love to see their models right now)
But this area has caught my eye. Rapid clearance of any clouds during recent frames indicates the main area for potential IMO. With steering flows being NNW, this puts everyone in the Amber Warning area at risk. Possible good call by the Met? We shall see.
Indeed.
Also the area to my E / SE is clearing so fingers cross well see those temps rise and something will fire

And now we wait.
Made my way up to Tot Hill services on the A34 just by the M4.
Feeling warm with a few breaks in the cloud trying to appear.

Xcweather you can use for free and just my guess is that the south and West Midlands and places like Wiltshire might be the best places but not certainty on that!
Lovely I'll check it out
Thanks

This site is reasonable for watching wind:

Thanks
Is that live or based on forecast winds?

Goood morning all from a slightly murky south coast. I'll be finished work in an hr I've got a full tank in the van and my inverter turned up for the laptop......time to chase !!!!!
Where to begin is the question.
I don't have access to the full charts just basic and from what that shows me I kinda like the wind profiles north of Brighton ish. There's a slightly stronger jet from what I've seen and coupled with convergence zone / backed winds we have some shear potential.
But will I end up playing catch up when it all kicks of to the west??
Is there anywhere offering free charts and live wind Maps that I could refine/ adjust my plans as needed.
Good luck everyone

Morning all.
That time of year again where we all get ridiculously excited and generally massively disappointed.
I'll be finishing work climbing Telecom towers (hopefully before any storms fire) and heading out on the road today for my first chase of the year.
Wish me luck luck and I'll post any cool pics or vid should the thunder god's smile on me
