Looking at the radar and the chart I posted it appears to be spot on in my opinion for 9am.
Can't see any lightning. There's too much cloud cover.
-
I did and still do have a feeling that this band of rain would weaken and that most of our activity today with come from convective showers.
You could probably adjust that further West, it stillcshows that finger of rain over Dorset at midday, yet it has already cleared through here. The forecasts are quite a way out from what's actually appearing on the radar at the moment.
That's what I thought.
-
I have to say the showers infront of the band of rain are some of the slowest I've seen.
-
A dry calm morning here with milky sky's, Temp 9.8c N/E 2mph. Hopefully we will get some storms later, but im not holding my breath !
That's got to be wrong. Look at the clear gap over me. LOL
-
My words were East Midlands possibly "A" focal point not "the", there is a subtle difference
i.e. there looks to be a number of focal points of which my area is one of them (on the BBC forecasts).
Ok, I didn't really know the meaning but thought you meant that was the only place. Sorry. LOL

Any thundery activity that was on that front has died out now. No forecast from Estofex but BBC still think there will be thunderstorms around this afternoon, with the East Midlands possibly a focal point. I will believe that when I see it, certainly for here.
Sorry, the last few days around here have just got me down. Considering the amount of thunderstorms around this past week you would have thought I would have seen at least one. Then again, Derby has done very well over the last couple of years so perhaps it's the turn of Derby to develop a storm shield where other shields are broken - fair's fair I suppose.
East Midlands as the focal point? I thought my area was at worst risk today?
-
Certainly not looking good at all.

I don't think this is a widespread problem and sounds like something specific to your pc I'm afraid as it's working fine on chrome from here & we have no other reports of problems. I'd recommend clearing your cookies and cache as this fixes things 9 times out of 10. If that doesn't work, try disabling any addons you have running in chrome 1 by 1 to see if any of those are causing an issue.
It looks like it was a dodgy extension. Thanks!

Hi there,
I am currently having a problem on Google Chrome (as this works in Internet Explorer) where I can't click any of the buttons to move the radar images back and forward in time. Also, I can't seem to move the map well and sometimes it just out of the middle of nowhere.Hopefully, this is a problem for a few people and not just me.
Thanks,William

Tomorrow looking similar in some ways to Thursday with an area of thundery rain (thus heavy rain with no thunder whatsoever) heading north and west with brighter skies and thundery showers following behind. CAPE values being shown by GFS and WRF are not as high as those on Thursday though so storms less severe or intense but considering I saw one flash of lightning it would not be too hard to beat my storm for intensity.
Is tomorrow looking good for here?

The organisers of the Devon County Show have cancelled the event for tomorrow because of the state of the car parks.
The car parks were closed this afternoon because weather had turned them to swamps.
Read more at http://www.plymouthherald.co.uk/Devon-County-cancelled-safety-reasons/story-21134248-detail/story.html#xelIHEfZtfDxq16i.99You wanted to see them! They were quadmiles! Plus, the traffic was at a standstill for ages!
-
Tomorrow looks very interesting for me. Widespread torrential downpours and thunder and lightning. Lets hope that all of us see something. Well, the Met Office have issued a warning so hopefully not this time will the activity go the opposite direction! LOL

Been at the Devon County Show, this afternoon. The showers looked menacing. But, nothing much. Most of the heavy showers happened earlier in the day.
-
It's a weather front William - have a read of Jo's update this morning for more info:
http://www.netweather.tv/index.cgi?action=news;storyid=5909;sess=
Yesterday saw over 6800 lightning strikes - pretty active but still behind Monday's 10k+
Well, it's a very high cloud for a weather front.
-
You are not stuck under a MCS because if you were this forum would have 100s of people in it..
It's a very old MCS. Look at the satellite.
-
Had a torrential downpour here last night. I wasn't awake to see it. But, I did record it. Hopefully, today I will see more heavy and possibly thundery showers which could be interesting at the Devon County Show. Though, currently I am stuck under and MCS that is slowly moving S and it's not raining, here.
-
Where did our lovely warm humid weather go? It's cloudy...rain on and off, with a noticeably chilly N/NE breeze.Don't like this one bit.
It should come back in later with the showers if we get a S wind.
-
Saturday looks interesting!
Hopefully!
-
Nothing more than some light rain showers William, perhaps a few heavy showers tomorrow.
Who knows, knowing our luck!
-
Looks like it is pivoting over SW England William, deviating SW as it gets nearer.
Yes, looks like the rain band is at a standstill on the SW end.
-
It only appears to be an area of light to moderate rain, no sferics showing Mumbles.
Yeah, it's not heavy enough to be electrified.
-
It's slowly petering out too, nothing much to see.
Well, this evening we weren't supposed to get much anyway, later in the night we are.
-
This has to be the slowest movement of an area of rain, ever.
-
The skies are black towards, E, ESE, SE, SSE and S of here now.

Well, I'm beginning to wonder if I'll actually get even a downpour, today.
