Not alot happening at the moment, some of the cells across Kansas have had their warnings expire without update. No sign of any tornado activity yet.

There was a brief talk about a possible hook in the Comanche cell (southernmost cell in Kansas) a few minutes ago, but is only very slight at the moment. heading northeast towards Coldwater and Wilmore. EDIT - It now appears the cell is moving more NNE, missing Pratt. Looking at google earth, it could indicate another hit for Greensburg if this storm continues its current track?

nice one.

Thanks, nice easy to read feature you made there. Could do with somthing like that for pollen levels, especially for the hayfever sufferers edit- the bbc site use coloured triangles for pollen, although it is often set to 'high' nearly all summer, so a 1-10 number system would be more useful if you were thinking of such a feature.

That was amazing, never seen anything like that before. Does anyone know what causes that?? Nice find Squitters.

The temperatures are on their way back down now, most of england and wales should be down to freezing by 7pm, the exception being the south west. edit - already some areas are down to 0, especially in the north and west midlands.

Tonights Minimum Temperatures Looks like the cold is more evenly distributed according to the 12z, definitely lots of ice in the morning.

Will the rain showers in the west and southwest turn back to snow when they hit colder air in the south east and south midlands area?

Looks out of place, possibly anaprop.

I always found it difficult to think of the right calculation for the question ugh I think 2-5cm widely is abit conservative, i would think 5-10cm especially N of the M4. What is the chance of the snow getting washed away soon after its finishes tomorrow afternoon?

Misty, 2.0c Fog is clearing gradually, still overcast.

27c here. been a day where it feels the temp has gone up and down alot, this morning was very fresh until the sun kept peeping out. Lots of CU around also, no tall towers like yesterday.

just started raining moderatly here.

Current Temperature 17c Northeast at 10 mph Humidity: 59% Warm & Sunny, few clouds.

DOWNPOUR here at the moment, the radar suggests light shower :lol:

torrential rain all of a sudden here, lasted 1min.

Heavy rain & Thunder - Very Gusty

Yes, same problem here. I recall there was a similar problem the other day.

Heavy shower just passed through 5 mins ago, didnt last for very long. Now a mixture of black clouds and blue sky.

Here's TWO's latest forecast, not even a mention of possible storms later on in the week. Monday 01/05 Cloud and outbreaks of rain will push eastwards across the UK during the day. In central and western areas some heavy outbreaks of rain are likely before clearer weather returns. Cloud and rain lingering in the south east. Temperatures close to average, although feeling rather cool in the rain. Tuesday 02/05 A dry start for many, however cloud and rain will quickly reach western parts and this will push eastwards during the day. South eastern parts may well remain dry with only ligh outbreaks of rain later on. Temperatures close to average. Wednesday 03/05 A blustery day in central and western areas with the possibility of some showers. In the east it is likely to turn cloudy with the chance of rain later on. Temperatures generally above average. Thursday 04/05 Cloud and rain is expected to push up from the south east and move west across the UK. Turning quite warm in southern and eastern areas as the rain clears away. Friday 05/05 Mainly dry in the north east. Elsewhere this is a risk of showers or longer outbreaks of rain at times. Temperatures generally above the seasonal average. Weekend 06/05 Some showery outbreaks of rain are likely across much of the UK at times, but there should also be some brighter spells. Temperatures generally close to or slightly above the seasonal average. Next week onwards 08/05 Rain at times especially in southern and western areas.
