Jersey just had a Recent Thunderstorm - it's heading to the South of the UK!

Metoffice Invent - http://www.metoffice...ent/weathermap/ Fantastic new way of forecasting from the MetOffice, has made me make some better decisions regarding flying. London should get hammered!

PROB30 TEMPO 2806/2810 7000 -TSRA BKN012 For Heathrow, Gatwick & London City Airports. This is mostly from the trough, which is already well over the UK - the cold front which should be west of London at 1200z (1300pm UK) 7KM in -SHRA with some low cloud, and some High level embedded Cb

Hello All, Only found about this forum this morning, I went flying in the South-East today, up to 2200ft/2300ft it was fairly stable, anything above that was pretty bumpy. I've looked at the frontal Charts for tonight, and it show's a trough moving through to be over London at 0000z (0100am (UK LOCAL) - as from someone with more experience explained this to me earlier, that there are going to be ISOL CB's at FL90 (9,000ft) - with about 3000m in +TSRA/+SHRA possible OCNL! It's currently moving at 15 knots, so work out where it will be now if it's over London at 1am! About 30 NM west of London at this current time to be precise. That weather band moving through must be the TROUGH as the Cold Front moving through only says Isolated Mist and rain/Drizzle! Heathrow is giving off PROB30 TEMPO 2718/2803 VRB18G28KT 5000 TSRA Which means only a Probability of 30% of TSRA happening, which is quite low!! The midnight TAF is out shortly, so If I am still awake Ill check on it. PPL Student, with 28hrs +
