Just looking at the NMM run for Friday, wow is all I can say!
How do you access the NMM charts, William? Friday does look like there will be some potent showers around for sure.

Well it's Day 3 of this 'thundery spell' and we've seen only dry and sunny. Right now is the first time in this spell that threatening clouds have appeared.
Will this eve see T&L and rain here?
According to Netweather Storm Forecast, around 7pm this evening is our chance.

It will be interesting to see if we end up with any storms crossing near the Bristol area. Looking at the charts and radars I personally feel we may be that little bit too far to the W/SW. Certainly not ruling it out though - the area is still within the risk zones.
I think we're too far West, Chris - Hope I'm wrong though.

Fingers crossed!

Just had a quick drive round the Bradley Stoke and Aztec West Area, here. The Sun is out in parts but you definitely see the clouds getting larger in the gaps. Humid too.
William I think you have given up far too early. Others seem to be writing it off already. The day is not over yet!

Hoping to go chasing when I finish work at 5 fingers crossed for something later!
Yes likewise mate. Where do you think you'll be headed?
-
I'll be around, William. Hope to finish work at 4:30 so will be out and about from about 5.

80 strikes in 20 mins??? Pah! That's nothing old bean - remember this event from last year? This was kicking out about 80 strikes per minute
This was epic. Remember driving along the M4 at about 1230am which was like a river. Lightning was incredible. Although I didn't turn my GoPro on until I got to Swindon! Amateur mistake.
Anyhow, I am free to chase tomorrow/Saturday if need be. Sticking around in Bristol hasn't brought me anything this year, yet!

Some nice convection kicking off around these parts. Really hoping my local storm shield packs up just for this evening! The attached image pretty much sums up this thundery spell in my area lol!

I'm actually in north Bristol at the moment so it's not raining at all and like you say the sky is brighter than it has been for a lot of today. Looks very different down where I actually live, currently under dark red on the N-W radar.
Edit: in fact it's so much brighter that we've just had about 60 seconds of sunshine haha.
Yep I'm also in North Bristol and can now see shadows!

So close to a direct hit! Should not have had those spitfires at the bbq.

Just had to ditch the bbq to avoid torrential downpour. Amazing radar returns. Game on.
-
Just had a heavy Graupel? shower here.
-
Some activity heading straight for Bristol by the looks of it - The question is, will it be electrifying?
-
Cells starting to pop up in the SW now - hoping for some action!

Doesn't look like a lot from the PWS's - 2 - 9mm. I expect a fair bit is evaporating.
Could indicate a nice hail core as well.
Is that a snapshot of netatmo rain gauge sensors, mapantz?
