Hi all,
Just got an email explaining the changes to the payments made for Netweather Extra, however I accidentally unsubscribed from that emailing list, please can I be put back on?
Thank you!
I doubt it, seems reasonable out to sea.
Sun breaking through now, UKWW forecast still going for the risk of funnel clouds and low risk of lightning later on this afternoon, not much time left though.
Nice hook to the low as it moves towards Cornwall (looks like a developing sting jet but isn't). Will be interesting to see if anything kicks off in that region soon.
@Greeny, am I right in saying that highest risk of anything interesting today is funnel clouds and the odd tornado and to a lesser extent lightning?
Wind gusts nearly touching 70 mph in the Irish Sea?!
Nothing really much happening here except there was some huge drops on the way back from Exeter about 10 minutes ago.
All of a sudden dark to the west, maybe those huge drops are about to slam down?!
I think your reply is a bit screwed up. PWAT values itself don't effect lightning amounts, but higher PWAT values can leave you saying "Why isn't this cell electrifying?!"
PWAT doesn't have much effect on lightning, except higher PWAT values can mean that showers have to be incredibly intense (rainfall rates of 200 mm/hr +) in order for them to contain lightning whereas lower PWAT values mean that lightning may be able to arise at much lower rainfall rates.
Sounds promising, to me I reckon it'll be something like a very blustery cold front with heavy rain (potential squall line but most likely not) then a brief clearence before heavy downpours with thunder, lightning and hail move through.
Just been looking at the BBC Weather graphics, to me it doesn't show any sort of area of heavy showers/thunderstorms moving in behind, maybe the convection will be associated with the front? Potentially embedded cells?
