I always enjoy any TS we get here the the SE UK , big or small, have watched many videos on the net from TS in the USA B) not quite the same as being there, I'm sure looking at a Supercell TS must be just awesome I love a bit of photography too and to snap a view of one would be tops, maybe one day I will get to go on one of NW tours over there, be a dream come true that

cheers,

Steve.

Well I guess thats it, well worth the wait after yesterday not a criticism of anyone, you have far my knowledge than myself I guess good ole mother nature can be fickle.

PS Still some deep booming thunder from the NE.

cheers,

Steve.

Nanu and Paul,

cheers for explanation guys

[El Gordo! - Spanish Plume Thunderstorm Discussion 6]

Hey Paul S,

Hope I got this right but the low level cloud looked to be moving SE whilst the higher stuff was moving NE, wondering what would cause that, dont have much knowledge about TS, just enjoy them.

cheers,

Steve.

[El Gordo! - Spanish Plume Thunderstorm Discussion 6]

Looks like another beefy one coming over the Estuary now...

yep booming away.

cheers,

Best and possibly last of the day now passing through.

A couple of really good +CG strikes close by.

Got a grand view of one, looked like it came down just east of Progress road.

cheers,

Steve.

Are you sure its low level cloud? the only SW vectors coming up for Southend on sea is the 1000hpa flow (18000ft) which would be the cirrus layer being thrown out ahead of the CF. Everything else underneath is still moving NE however.

Hi snow,

It was low level cloud moving SE, getting a heave on too, you could see the higher level stuff moving NE.

cheers,

Steve.

[El Gordo! - Spanish Plume Thunderstorm Discussion 6]

passed by now, nothing spectacular but after yesterday I'll bank it

cheers,

Steve.

[El Gordo! - Spanish Plume Thunderstorm Discussion 6]

neat link that

cheers,

Steve.

[El Gordo! - Spanish Plume Thunderstorm Discussion 4]

Am i right in thinking CB's follow the upper winds..? if so what is the best HPA wind vector to overlay on the NW radar ... 500, 300hpa ..?

cheers,

Steve.

[El Gordo! - Spanish Plume Thunderstorm Discussion 4]

Running the NW radar animation it looks like it could pass so close to Kent to me, be a good light show for any folks there, I may even get a looksee from here if its not near dawn time.

cheers,

Steve

[El Gordo! - Spanish Plume Thunderstorm Discussion 4]

I don't think it's changing direction at all… I think the closest the French stuff will come is mid Channel. The MetO haven't updated their yellow warnings to orange as one might expect if the storms are a few hours away.

Running the NW radar I fear you could be right can only hope that something builds ahead of it I guess :unsure:

cheers,

Steve.

[El Gordo! - Spanish Plume Thunderstorm Discussion 4]
