  1. And my parents house stands in the way, about to go out and photograph it, once Doc Marten finishes
  2. It was just crazy, I have a couple of good pics and I am about to go out in the hire car (Smax) with the rear seats down, and sit in the back and take photos from an elevated position facing SW. I was up outside till 2.30, plus when the monsoon rain came, literally just stood in it (without camera). They are SO slow moving, and I am SO tired from lack of sleep..but I don't want to miss this one again. Pictures to follow. The system is huge, but I don't know if its peaked? Yet to hit land, if its anything like last night http://www.sat24.com/en/fr
  3. Writing to you from 45 minutes inland from La Rochelle, 26c, 9:20pm...wow last night storms were incredible, seems theres more inbound off the northern coast of spain, this makes up for missing all the storms in the uk last week in pompey,....pictures to follow
  4. Got a free pass to storm chase this evening, where would you go 2 hours from Southampton? Don't say Nottinghamshire ;-)
  5. Still no rain/storms in Pompey lol I feel bad for suggesting you come back lol
  6. same here, south central, no rain, no thunder...everythings missing us
  7. Aren't we seeing warmer air being circulated from a new low that "attachs" itself to the original low - thus appearing like the AH rebuilds?
  8. is there a list somewhere of decent elevated viewpoints south facing. ie in hamps we have blunsdown hill, portsdown hill.
  9. GFS/ECM/UKMO have the low doing it's merry little dance quite far south into the Bay of Biscay (especially the GFS) T96-120. Is that because the of the jetstream?
  10. Highly probable I'm up Portsdown Hill above Portsmouth with AdiF in 20 minutes, we'll let you know what we see
  11. Off to the middle of nowhere 45 mins east of La Rochelle at parents, Thurs, big open skies, looking forward to this week now with the storms coming fingers crossed, and what weather my parents get down there. 37c today for them (they spent all day in doors). Saw my last lightshow there in a huge isolated MCS Looking at Raintoday radar...think Pompeys in the firing line...shame it's still so light....but beggars can;t be choosers
  12. That MCS over Caen doesn't look very isolated...sure I'll see that when I go up Portsdwon Hill over pompey later...shame it's so light till so late... Latest ECM/GFS runs have this SW'ly humid flow for most, if not all of next week..
  13. Nice theory, but wont the force of the jetstream this time round make a difference...Hope you're right...
  14. Latest GFS has the low heading on a more ESE track as well..tues evening for us Central Southerners looks interesting
  15. Latest GFS has the first inbound low on a more southerly track again
  16. Does the remnants of the current high /warm uppers etc prevent the low from passing over us to the NE (so says the GFS). Will it 100% make it spin/move back west and then south, repeating the process?
  17. I'll grasp those straws , but I don't think we'll beat the jetstream
  18. Man, I hope that 00z GFS run doesnt come off T114, going to France and I too dont want 20c and grey skies....can't believe this timing, a lot of end of term holidays affected
  19. Deeper into GFS FI, will the low really hang around/stall that long? Interesting the low no longer detours via Spain, thats been a change in the realistic time frame, however I really hope it moves thru as opposing to passing over us, then heading west and bck down to france.
  20. Now the iberian low is south of greenland, and in FI charts depict a mass of green 850 air eventually meeting it once it's over the UK...is there any concern/thoughts about that. There hasn't been to much discussion yet, maybe because it's FI, but for a while now GFS has been staunch in its forecast of this 1st iberian low...this 1st low brings a change/ fun , storms!, but it's what comes after that intrigues me..
  21. Stage 1 of the "breakdown" is "95% inevitable" ;-), it's what happens after. After all a breakdown/blip could last 24 hours...It's what happens post-breakdown that intrigues/concerns me. If the azores high ridge can steer any secondary lows away that would be great, but I can't help feeling we're in for a) the 1st low hanging around a while, or B, esp via the GFS, successive lows..
  22. I think I saw on the most recent ECM T96/144 a big ridge from the azores high extend northwards mid atlantic, could that help block/shut northwards the second low thats "due", after this iberian
