Now the radar's in range, you can quite clearly see the southward shift in the heaviest precip. that myself and @viking_smb alluded to an hour ago. Shame! Still, I'm not writing tonight off entirely, but definitely going to bed now! Radar check some point in the early hours no doubt when I awake probably needing a pee

Touch-and-go whether it grazes Cornwall and southernmost tip of Devon, if it sustains itself that long

Thunders I was thinking about setting an alarm for about 4am, but if you look on the satellite now, things are taking a turn southwards it would seem...

While Blitz looks even better at the moment, UKV largely kills it off now during the night.

As a caveat to the above, it's of course still hundreds of miles away! I shouldn't really try to predict its path over such a long distance, especially given it'll likely die off and/or be replaced by sister storms later on. Single thunderstorms like that rarely last beyond a couple of hours!

viking_smb shows as a nice round lump on satellite.
Current trajectory swings it along channel coasts somewhere I'd say, from analysing the sat. loop & Blitz

Eagle Eye thanks for the details. I hadn't even paid attention to the fact there is a storm risk tonight, just assumed it was your bog-standard showery Atlantic front!

Thunderspotter yep, suddenly the cells are looking more intense on radar too

A repeat of these exact synoptics later in the year when there's more warm air to be sucked into the mid levels from Europe would go down a treat. It's so unusual for the whole lot to be tracking to the NWW like this is doing, and in the summer it'd no doubt give a long lasting show to many as it crawls across.

Cells have entered the east side of the island. Window open hoping for that sweet sound.
Edit: the only sweet sounds so far are our garden Robin and Blackbirds. Not a bad alternative, but we get them every day

Stormhog I would've been two at the time, so sadly, can't remember that!
Things getting very interesting in the channel now. Time to scoff a roast dinner and see about getting out with the camera for nightfall.- 8

Thunderspotter I think Mother Nature is confused. This is all more akin to 31st May than 31st March!

I know we're not in Arizona, and we don't have radar capable of showing outflow boundaries, but it'd be great if these Hampshire storms could kick some out to then set off something further south nearer to the front for me. Very wishful thinking

Radar's perking up mid-Channel and I can see towers to the SE too now. I've seen enough to be interested in this evening.

Thunders They're genuine - they show on satellite too. Not anaprop on this occasion

A mild one, but I recorded only my second-highest max since having my station from the start of the year. 16.1 today. 16.2 on 20th March
