I’m convinced it to do with the river Tyne/ valley , maybe a vacuum exiting which forces showers either side, who knows 

I think you’re right, it’s happened a lot over the last few days whenever the wind has been predominantly easterly. Would be interesting to find out why, because the Thames doesn’t seem to do the same down south

I can't see anything else hitting me now. There was a decent sized blob heading for us here but it's split North and South. 

I've still got hope for what's just offshore. It does all seem to be splitting north and south at the last minute though.

Interesting how, like yesterday, showers fade at the mouth of the Tyne when coming in on an easterly wind. Doesn't seem to affect the showers north and south of here.

Yea same here. it is a shame as the last snow shower just started to fill up the green grass. Now its back to how it was before. I am hoping when the sun goes down for one or 2 (50) more showers and it will be lovely. 

Are we expecting showers to carry on that late? I hope they do but I was under the impression it was all winding up early afternoon. 

[Far north and northeast of England weather discussion]

Definite lull now, especially for Tyneside. 

Shame... right in the middle of the day. Anything in the sun is warming up.

I bet £20 this is what’s coming for Newcastle

Why the big convection hole?

Answers ona postcard.

 

My very unscientific assumption was that the change from NE to E has caused a bit of a gap whilst the easterly showers move over

Couldn't make it up

You and me both, I can now see a straight track of clear sky all the way out to sea

[Far north and northeast of England weather discussion]

Looking more easterly now... I’m hoping that if it is then we’ll get the blue circle, but if it stays NE we’ll get the red circle...

A good morning for Teesside.

Anyone else finding it really hard to work out the exact path of these showers?

Yep, none of them moving in a straight line and the radar seems to struggle to pinpoint them.

6Z GFS is a interesting run 

Good interesting or bad interesting

Bit of a monster shower looks to be 45 mins or so away.   Not sure if its on course for me or maybe a bit north

Keeping a close eye on that one too, could be the best so far but it's hard to tell for sure until it hits the coast.

Earlier I though CLS but now think NCL lol 

CLS-bound I think, too far east for NCL as it stands. 

[Far north and northeast of England weather discussion]

Most interested in this lot, hopefully they keep building well.

Hopefully both!

Just now, Phil Blake said:

Some or moving from the NE. Some are moving more ENE. Some are changing direction as they move. 

Agreed. Struggling to tell if this next one heading our way will be hitting NCL or CLS. 

[Far north and northeast of England weather discussion]

Looks to me like the flow is changing from NNE to more of a NE, anyone else agree?

[Far north and northeast of England weather discussion]

Just now, Phil Blake said:

I was just about to post that. This one seems to be heading for this area

 

Definitely. Was hoping it would hit me in NCL head on but looks to be heading for you. 

The showers do seem to be spreading out on landfall though so hopefully should catch some of it on the way past.

Not that I'm greedy or anything but this is typical of CLS. 2 biggish showers going around lol

Looking ahead on the radar you should be in for a heavy one passing south of Newcastle?

[Far north and northeast of England weather discussion]

I’m liking the appearance of reds and deep yellows on the radar out to sea 

[Far north and northeast of England weather discussion]

Do we think this is the general flow? 

[Far north and northeast of England weather discussion]

Just now, seabreeze86 said:

They seem to be strengthening on landfall at the minute hopefully will continue 

Was just about to say, they actually look to be building nicely. Fingers crossed...

[Far north and northeast of England weather discussion]

Radar looks better than I'd expected, especially for Sunderland-->Redcar. Maybe some decent showers for Tyneside too, as long as they don't fade on landfall!
