Actually for Bromham I don't think a direct hit was the right term!. We seemed to be right under the point of building. Customers of mine saying barely no rain in Olney which is about 5 or 6 miles away and from checking the radar I can't believe we were in like the ignition point.
I like to have a storm where it builds on you and also when you can see it come in from elsewhere.
However also hopeful any surface water flooding isn't doing to much damage round here and in Kempston been out in Bromham and seems OK but quite hilly here.
In Biddenham and it built right overhead and then as it moved east it got worse but the rain was biblical

31mm rain in Bedford in 45 mins

Is the cap about to broken near here. Big tower up near Cambridge way. Can see from Bedford. Couldn’t get pic as driving.

A quick question. Here in Bedford we seem to have storms start then the lightning and thunder stops fairly quickly. This had happened in the past few years? Any reason why? Bedford is obviously by the Ouse etc does this have any bearing whatsoever? Just curious
-
Can anyone in Bedford area confirm thunder snow. I’m sure I saw lightning and a rumble!

I have seen some amazing storms on the coast and I've had some amazing storms over Bedford. Where we live sometimes we have storms practically develop over us (which happened in August) but mostly storms break up as they hit my area and then re-built later up country. I just think it's the part of the area i live in. Snow is another example.
I would love to see a shelf cloud like people in SW have seen. Not jealous, at all.
I was always told that living near the chilterns if the storm didn’t get in it would travel around and hence miss places in Bedfordshire. Don’t know if that’s possible?

Everything is dying out before reaching here. Thought we may be in for a few cm tonight but not sure now! Any idea if the showers will pep up overnight?! Hoping but I think not. Frustrating

Looking good few your in an hour or so. I’ll just keep looking at the radar and conceivable some logic as to why I am in the middle of two shower trains despite being currently directly down wind from the Wash.
Probably some form of karma
I'm hoping that this will sweep down to Bedford if it stays strong. Fingers crossed.

Yeah eyes on that here too.
I’ve got my eye even more on the stuff just starting to form further up the coast into Norfolk (Fakenham sort of area) - if we can get that to form into a streamer that will hopefully be pretty much bullseye for us with a NE-ENE flow.
Should be an interesting evening, not expecting more than a covering here and hoping to be pleasantly surprised
Will have a look, temp dropping here and dew point now -3c so that will be enough. Certainly developing situation. Still we were quite lucky the other week. Fingers crossed.

This is a good sign - I suspect this is the start of the convection which has formed showers to your north starting to work it’s way south. There may well be a fair bit of this over the next few hours where the snow seems to start without anything showing on the radar (given the 10-15 min delay on the radar vs current time)
Keeping an eye on a possible line of showers around the Kings Lynn area that are heading inland. Hoping they will last. What are your thoughts?
-
Am I right in thinking if the precipitation is further north than was first thought is that good news for more west of the EA region? have a very light covering on grass/cars etc here but clearing now. Def a nowcast and radar watching situation.
-
Proper wet snow now, not settling yet and not much left to come looking at radar which is a shame
-
Some big wet flakes mixed with the rain now in Bedford. At least it is something.
-
Temp dropped to 4.2c and dew point dropping quickly now 3.3c. Dont expect much here though
-
Hi, do we think that Bedfordshire is too far west for tomorrow or will there be a late swing to show it moving more to the west of the region? Is it just a case of now casting when it starts a bit like the other Sunday when the front moved further north than predicted and we got about 5cm. Appreciate that was from the southwest and not southeast. Think we may get more from heavy showers sunday night/monday? What are other thoughts please. TIA
-
Strange weather here this morning. Clear and now fog rolling in, temp dropped to 1.2c and still dropping and DP dropped to 0.5c.
Think we are right on the edge for snow tomorrow but still think its a case of watching the radar. May catch something if a wash streamer sets up. fingers crossed. Stay safe everyone

Waiting for the super powers to kick in yes it’s a relief , second jab in April booked
Also work in a SEN school and had a jab on Wednesday. Second one in April. All good so far.
Looking forward to some snow on Sunday/Monday. But may not get as much as first thought.

Indeed Nick, I think @kold weather mentioned earlier about previous such events around 2009/2010 which saw this effect happen with some amplification of the precipitation extent and intensity vs modelling when it runs through the estuary, running both North and South.
We could very well be into that territory come Sunday. An exciting 72 hours ahead.
Hi Snowking, being in Bedford also, are we on the edge of the big stuff? How much do you expect us to get. Pretty sure it will be a nowcast but 5cm the other sunday was more than expected. fingers crossed for all
-
Still some light snow coming down in Bedford but what a surprising day. Up to about 6cm. Didn’t expect that tbh. Very lucky compared to some. If the skies clear later will be a tricky morning drive.
-
Have a lot more snow than I thought we would have. About 6cm now and still falling moderately!
is it beginning to pivot?? -
Huge flakes now in Bedford. Good inch or more now?
