LightningLover if you're a Cumulonimbus, that looks like a delicious 5 course dinner -

Very much now looking better placed here in Winchester than I will be back home tonight! -

Southern Storm can see you ending up with about 2 hours sleep before work if you do chase... So the boring but safe option would be to stay put! Nobody wants to try and function at work on that little kip! Unless you can book some late notice leave -

Storms and Convective discussion - May 2024
ChannelThunder replied to Eagle Eye's topic in Storms & Severe Weather
On an office day in Winchester so I'll be quiet in here 'til later on! If I took my car over for these days I'd have been tempted to stay over on the mainland to open up chase opportunities for the night, alas I'll be back home hoping the storms come to me! It does increasingly look like the most lightning activity will be over Kent, Sussex and then northwestwards of there, I think I'll be on the edge of that and could just get stuck with heavy rain . -

Quite a big southwards nudge on the latest UKV! I'm not gonna say that 'b' word from the model thread, but I'm thinking it... -

I know we can't take these things too literally, but I like the position of that shortwave on the fax charts for midnight UTC tomorrow: -

CoventryWeather sadly it's looking like a very late one; the low itself has got to get all the way here from Tunisia, where it's parked at midday today! Edit: it's kind of hard to tell whether a new low entirely is born from its remains, only on mobile at the mo! -

Eagle Eye similar weather, very different timings! Let's hope UKV has the timing right, because it's a work/school night after all! -

UKV has woken up overnight, then! Just about keeps me in the game but one northward shunt and it's game over. -

Kent imports some absolute humdingers on the 12z ECM, tracking from there over central southern England and over to south/mid Wales, followed by afternoon homegrowns north of London. A little nudge southwards would be fantastic for me but I'm not banking on it as it currently looks like we'll be on the frontal rainfall side of things! -

viking_smb This has happened before. Sometimes Paul posts an update to let everyone know it's down. It's not just Netweather either as WeatherOutlook's version is stuck too. I think the last time this happened, it sorted itself out on the following 15z... -

Interesting that the Met Office are fully behind their model and not entertaining that this event could just as well be further north and east. Aidan mentions frequent lightning for the southwest: -

It'd be into UKV range now to keep an eye on without waiting for the 3/15z runs. However, it hasn't updated since 3z! -

Eagle Eye aren't we just? Very strange direction of travel for this event! -

ChannelThunder replied to Supacell's topic in Storms & Severe Weather
Eagle Eye do you mean as it drifts northwest? that's the direction it looks to be taking. -
Moans, ramps and banter
ChannelThunder replied to Community Team's topic in Spring Weather Discussion
Summer8906 yeah, west Isle of Wight. We had a cumulus field after the front but for the last half hour it's been clear skies. Hopefully heading your way! -

The weather on the back end of low pressure systems can be stunning, just look at this today Amongst all the rain and cool conditions, this is somehow the second Sunday running I've been able to both start a tan for the year, produce some vitamin D and get stuff done in the garden! -

viking_smb even further east on tonight's ECM! A good lightning show for some fish and those working on oil rigs perhaps... -

CoventryWeather yeah, looks great there, but can't help thinking the ECM will be right and the whole lot further east.
