It was the website on a PC, not sure if that's the same as the app though.
If its the part where it just shows periodic symbols, then its the same thing. There is no human expertise involved. Those things are ok just to spot a general trend. You are much better off where you are here, same as me (someone with zero knowledge in forecasting) taking in the comments and local reports etc.

The MetOffice have removed the lightning symbols from the weather forecast for my area just in the last hour. Why is that?
If you are looking at an app, the 'they' as in the humans that interpret the models, have not removed the symbol, just the computer interpreted a model and updated the graphic. Those apps are worthless for situations like this

explanation please...
Your angles are a little off, looking at lightening maps the movement is more NNE, you are showing ENE!

Just heard faint rumble from the new Black Country cell.

Looking at real time lightening map, looks like right hand split / turn on the French Cell, possible Supercell? (I'm a novice so more a guess than anything!)

I'm not one to get downbeat when things go bust (I'm not saying this is a bust yet) as I'm old enough and ugly enough to know that being in a Maritime air mass its always going to be difficult for models to absolutely nail these systems.
As for today and tonight, I'm just going to enjoy some radar and Mk1 Eyeball nowcasting

3-7cm means a Amber Warning?. Really?.
More likely an Amber warning for the number of numpties that have no idea on how to drive in a few CM of snow!

If there is precipitation around at that time im pretty certain it will be snow at that altitude im a little concerned about my drive back also
Indeed! Luckily I am on a half day today so at least I'll get back from work in Brum without any drama. (Train to Coseley then short drive up the hill to Sedgley)
-
My little one has a party in Stourbridge at 5:15 today, and we are in Sedgley, not sure I fancy driving across at rush hour as barely a dusting and you just know there will be gridlock!

Correction, trying to turn sleety with odd wet snow flake

First sign of initiation in Mid Wales in the last 2 radar grabs?
-
Interesting shape to the cell over Chelmsford.
-
Looks like 2 new areas of initiation on last couple of radar grabs. Lets see if they can go on to be more substantial that the earlier shower.

Interesting shape development to the southern cell in Wales on the 15:55 radar grab, but gone again 5 mins later. Looked like a nice little hook echo was forming to my very much uneducated eyes?!

Hi Joe, a small 'cell' appeared a the NE radar, just on the Eastern edge of town. Didn't look like Anoprop. But as quick as it appeared in a couple of 5 min updates, its now almost gone again!

I can see the huge storm heading to Nottingham from here in Sedgley, and whilst hard to tell from here when looking at the top of the anvil it appears to be rotating
-
flash and rumble in Sedgley, but appears to have come from the side of the line already passed over
-
PPN just hit Sedgley and its.............. snow
Fairly light -
Has anyone just seen a flash of lightning around the Solihull area, having a fag at the back door, not really paying attention and swear I seem one
I saw a flash out the back window a short while ago, facing towards Wolverhampton from here in Sedgley. Noticed a few couple of weeks back when we had snow all day Sunday (when there was no storm) so thinking it could be flashes from train lines due to the snow?
-
a covering now in sedgley and gornal.....but drove to tipton and bilston and its not stuck at all due to lower reliet but only a matter of time I would say.
Mozza, you have exact same elevation as me in Sedgley and you posted about Beacon Hill earlier, I reckon you must live on my doorstep! I'm just off Bath Street..
Fairly light

I was driving down the A1 at the time, that had crossed my soon to be path and had a very large distinctive lowering and signs of rotation. I've just logged on and looking at radar as of 2pm there appears to be a hook on that cell that corresponds to the time I observed it. However I did not actually observe any form of funnel, but it sure looked like it had the potential to drop one!
