When is this band of rain supposed to be moving north/north west? Still no closer here.
-
I think it'll be at least a few hours until we see anything here in the Midlands. Seems to have not really travelled West but heading SW down the country.
-
Heading a bit too much in a South Westerly direction for my liking. I fear the main band will miss the Midlands. Would prefer if it was East to West.
-
Seems to be heading in a Northwesterly direction.
-
Which direction is this precipitation heading in? Will it make it to the Midlands?
-
The band of rain on the latest updates show it decaying into nothing. It’s not even managed to reach Leicester.
-
Can’t belive we’ve missed it all day, just to the south of us here in Leicester.
-
I don’t think I’ve seen thunderstorms being mentioned so much by the BBC before:
Outlook for Sunday to Tuesday
“Sunday will be very warm with sunny spells but also the chance of a heavy shower or thunderstorm. Monday will have sunny spells and variable amounts of cloud with a few showers or thunderstorms likely. Still very warm. Tuesday will see the warm spell continue. There will be some sunshine but again the chance of a heavy shower or thunderstorm forming later on.”
-
What’s our chances looking like tonight/tomorrow morning for anything thundery or will it be another bust?
-
What do you guys think about this?
Thunderstorm activity has been next to nothing so far here in the East Midlands. I have yet to see my first proper thunderstorm for 2018.
-
Same here in Leicester. Just on and off moderate rain, don't think we'll see anything unless something pops up tonight?v
-
Hopefully it should be an interesting end to the day tomorrow for many of us in the Midlands.

Been an absolutely miserable day today. Very breezy and dull with thick cloud all day, not one appearance of the sun. Drizzle has now arrived, which was not forecast according to the BBC. A high of 13 degrees.
-
BBC East Midlands text forecast for tomorrow (Saturday): “Early patches of mist, fog and low cloud will clear to leave a much milder day with some sunshine at times. However, there will be the risk of the odd heavy shower or thunderstorm forming later on.“
First time this year I’ve seen thunderstorms being mentioned.

The lack of activity surprises me again. Has anyone else noticed a theme occurring? There's been half a dozen days so far, that have shown convective promise, and it has failed to materialise. I hope this isn't going to be a trend as we move to the Summer.
I think it would help if the rest of the country had some warm weather. Here in the Midlands over the past week, all we’ve had is grey skies and drizzle, feeling cool. So certainly not feeling convective in this part of the country.
-
Sorry for my noob knowledge but are these areas of rain any interest for us later on i.e any convective activity or just plain old rain?
-
BBC text forecast for the region tomorrow; ‘Through the afternoon, bands of heavy and occasionally thundery showers will encroach from the southwest.’
Potentially our first risk of thunder for tomorrow?

Icon and arpege lookin juicy for snow sunday!better than the 06z!!both still going for around 8cms or more widely!!
Sunday has a max day temperature of 1 degrees and rising to 9 degrees during the evening and night - so a snow/sleet to rain event here in Leicester. No thanks.
-
BBC's weather forecast has updated (yet again) and is now showing snow for every day as well as lower temperatures
I will, however, take this with a pinch of salt.

Think it’s a bust for anything today here in Leicester.
