    Convective Outlook️ A mass of rain from a low pressure system should clear by late morning or early afternoon in the south and mid afternoon further north leaving behind some energy forced with a wind convergence zone in England. Meanwhile in Ireland similar lines of convergence should form and help convection with rising low-level temperatures amidst slightly falling pressure. Bands of forcing behind the clearing low pressure over England should allow for some showers to be forced where energy can rise the most. This is most likely in areas where the sun can come out, just behind the strongest of the forcing bands which hug close to the low, but so does the cloud. Limiting shower depth and the strength of convective tower potential, unless clearing can become more widespread in the higher forced areas mainly in the SE and east Anglia where showers also have more moisture to feed off for that convection. Lapse-rates are strong enough for some small hail to form, but given the weak CAPE, I can't see much forming. Nor can I see much in the way of lightning because of the saturation associated with the area behind the low pressure system. In Ireland the forcing bands are more connected with the potential for convection because of less favourable conditions for thick cloud cover. Therefore stronger lift is likely to occur here and force a few showers. Stronger energy should take up more of the moisture even though it's quite weak and may lead to some heavy rainfall associated with these and they could also form into a proper line of convection by the afternoon if enough shearing were to be present. If they do, I suspect they could sustain further east than the models suggest hence why it's been extended into the Irish Sea and western Wales just in case, with a very small chance of a Supercell but shearing is lacking much strength to really push that risk. However, most likely is that these are to remain rather weak and lightning is still a fairly small risk for now. Low-level lapse-rates are strong here and so small hail is possible however unlikely to be much more than 1/4 of an inch as the MLCAPE barely reaches past 300 J/KG.

    WeatherArc It's broken the Nadocast scale. It's the 80% counter which wasn't even on the chance box.

    And so it begins.

    WeatherArc Shear is more significant than most models showing and saturation even better for what you'd typically see. This has that feel that it'll be nothing or very significant.

    Taking a look at yesterday versus today. Substantial low-level shear, but given the weak energy at the surface, it appears that the very low LCL's significantly helped with tornadic production. Something to keep an eye on for events that feel like they might not be so big just because of the other signals. Comparing that to today's risk, significantly more shearing and fairly similar CAPE, along with a more typical saturation profile. However, the LCL's vary a lot, theoretically this has higher end potential, but I suspect there will be less significant tornadoes, but there's more favouring long track potential.

    More to add to the incredible photos.

    We might have so many classic images from last night.

    Convective Outlook️ During Saturday Morning, an occluded front will slowly lose its strength fizzling out over Southern England. Late morning, early afternoon, a front from France will advect north towards the UK. Ahead of this front across S/SW England a convergence line should develop allowing showers to develop. Alongside with this convergence line, comes forcing which will force the showers to develop & grow in height with shallow CAPE being present. This could allow a few lightning strikes from these showers, however confidence remains relatively low once again. During the afternoon, showers should have fully developed more focussed towards SW England as the front starts clipping south England. As the front arrives, there is also a chance of a few lightning strikes on the East rear off this front, but once again confidence remains relatively low.

    What looked to me like ridiculously low LCL's and high low-level shear counteractdd fairly weak surface energy and not brilliant saturated profiles for already one of the biggest outbreaks in the last few years and probably the one with the most significant tornadoes in recent memory. Today has the potential to do the same but that morning convection might save us from that. We shall see. The Tall Weatherman Oklahoma City unfortunately in the middle of the moderate risk.

    This outbreak isn't stopping for anyone

    Kansas is also having tornadoes along with Nebraska and the Texas tornadoes. A lot going on at the moment.

    Reminds me of Soso-Bassfield tornado

    Everything is happening very quickly at the moment

    Aaron Jayjacks has got it Someone has likely got a classic shot of this if this one doesn't become a classic
  19. Eagle Eye
    Cannot believe it
  20. Eagle Eye
    Texas also happened and still potentially more to come from there.
  21. Eagle Eye
    This almost definetely needs an upgrade to a moderate risk, it's only just the afternoon there really.
  22. Eagle Eye
    So that tornado happened

    Colorado isn't actually a bad place to chase, it seems to rarely fail, Ijust that it doesn't typically seem to have high end events but if you want some good dusty pictures like old tornado pictures, go there.

    Convective Outlook️ Falling mid-level GPH and surface pressure overnight with some cooling of the uppers with lower level temperatures staying more level should allow for the western edge of a Theta-E ejection to force a few showers overnight on Friday. Surface bands of vorticity should eject westward from northern France from a frontal system into a strong low-level lapse-rate area forcing potentially 100 J/KG Of 3CAPE but with weak deep-layer shear and high saturation the lightning risk is rather low and limited to the southwest and central southern coast.
