 iand61 nothing changes!! 
not weather related but I remember once calling late for work - based in Salford because Burnley Rd to Rawtenstall was closed. Explained that i need to take a close to 15mile detour. They thought i was sassing, nope i just grew up in Crawshawbooth! 
 

I think you’re likely get a turn tomorrow! 
 

@Chris.R what you saying for us now down at 105 asl

 iand61 don’t envy the roads back in The Dale. Especially with the threat of snow. Would be leaving the car down bottom of the hill by the The Dog tonight if I was still there. One road in, one road out.

Thumping it down.

Just woke up to a nice surprise on my day off! Today I’m not overly green about Rossendale. And it’s still falling…..just!

Sorry but I only saw your post after I’d down mine otherwise I’d have responded to yours.

Still rumbling away and probably as much T&L as we’ve had in a single storm all year.

 

 

My mam also confirming thunder,  lightening and rain in Crawshawbooth. I miss home.

Wind has picked up

Big deep rumble and good ole lighting in Pemberton!

The journey back from Pembrokeshire has been arduous. Eight and a half hours for 200miles. Thankfully back now and thoughts are to all those still trying to protect their properties I’ve seen throughout Mid Cyrmu and all others dealing with the flooding right now.

Lightning is very visible from here on the east side of a hill. Some very bright.

Just watching from mine now. No thunder. Great light show.

It's crazy because it developed literally in 15 minutes from a shower.

Look towards lidl!

I don't know why I bother doing forecasts.

Some stuff forming east wales / Chester / stoke. Could be a possible incoming if intensifies and sparks? 

[Northwest Weather Discussion]

Perhaps @iand61 had better luck over on dark side? Looked to have some action an hour or so ago.

There is still time;. The peak of the instability was supposed to be late evening and there was MLCAPE until the early hours but not sure I can trust all that anymore

Here’s hoping. Incredibly still here. But seems have gone flat.

I’d let you know if we get anything but I’m over the hill into Calderdale shortly.

I'm staying put but  if you want to go somewhere I'd go to the Irwell Valley or the West Pennine Moors there always seems to be good action there

That’s where I was thinking. Im originally from Rossendale and the parents are still there. Perhaps time for an impromptu visit ha! 

[Northwest Weather Discussion]

Thinking of heading out from Pemberton. 
Recommendations to catch action or stay put?

Flash and a rumble here in Pemberton

Omg!

Cell announced its arrival with a huge positive strike at less than a mile. Just passed to my west and it is now a beast. It has exploded. Producing lightning every three seconds now and constant thunder.

I’m near the lidl and that gunshot was LOUD

Lol i'm actually going to be almost next door to a Galloway's bakers and a pie shop. That's me sorted.

Ha ha! I live in Wigan, never too far from a Galloways. Poor show for weather. I used to live in Rossendale. Bad move.
