  1. The movement is really unpredictable on this thing, it's no wonder the models have a hard time. If only the general public could grasp this - tonight would be a great example of why storms aren't so easily forecast.
  2. That MCS is really wrapping up now, with main ppn bowing north - it's teasing me! Tempted to chase but i feel like it'll suddenly change course again.
  3. Thanks for the suggestions. Looking at the radar loop though, it seems to be heading more north at this point due to the rotation. I'm still not so sure, though - it's a tough one to call..
  4. Until today, i wouldn't have even expected development until much later. Far too early to call it a bust for central/SE.
  5. The storm over the channel has started to take on an interesting form. Is it possible for an MCS become a bow echo, or does it already fall under that category?
  6. yeah, the thing with these is that it'll appear to be moving due north, but then make a right turn, clipping kent.
  7. That MCS over the channel looks rather impressive on radar - might be worth compiling a gif later.
  8. I can attest to this; haven't seen a good storm i didn't need to chase for since 2014/2015.
  9. storm events in the uk up were far more frequent up until around 2013, if i recall correctly - at least in the last 10 years or so.
  10. surprised how little talk there is on the cells heading for cambridge. in hindsight, setting up there at the start of the day would've been a great call
  11. The amount of cumulus clouds have increased over the hour, as visible on satellite - so that's somewhat promising. Going by xc, it looks like convergence is establishing over the SE up through lincolnshire, where easterlies meet westerlies.
  12. That's just a flaw in the netwx model. There is specifically no cape under the ppn, i assume, because it accounts for the change in atmospheric conditions, locally.
  13. anyone noticing the line of cumulus developing over northampshire?
  14. surely if the cap was eroding we'd be seeing cumulus at much lower levels
  15. Is it just me or are things looking more promising south of the main risk area. All that cloud/rain can't be good for insolation; though, there's still the problem of finding a trigger.
  16. ah, cool. my apologies. i wasn't aware you could be incorrect when clearly exaggerating.
  17. plain incorrect? storms initiating around and north of the peak district seems to be the general consensus among models at the moment.
  18. If you're referring to 2014, there was a impressive low-topped supercell that day which passed through oxfordshire. Unfortunately, i don't have the GFS charts for that day, but here's the sounding and radar (i have more photos too, if anyone's interested). If those CAPE/Li values really are accurate for tomorrow, i can only imagine the storms it could support.
