Been watching the York railcam - it was bright, I know that!!!
Do you subscribe to railcam? Nothing here so far in Norfolk but its the warmest night of the year so far in my opinion, not a hint of cold air its gorgeous, an alternative way to play out the rest of my birthday (which has now indeed finished)

We have missed all the storms this year but this was a massive surprise with the convergence area sitting on top of us
Right at the sweet spot, not easy to do normally but fortune favoured you this time alright!

More rotation here! Very lucky to see this. Wasn't expecting anything today!
Love this too, I'd be stoked after seeing that. The clouds look gnarly, which is perfect

Here's the rotation!
That updraft looks lively! Nice capture, I like this just as much as thunder and lightning.

Is there a way I can check for my location?
I’ve missed this convective thread I stay away mostly because of jealousy because I never seem to get a storm as usual the *potential* is there on the models, but as has already been stated today, the risk will almost certainly be shifted east to avoid most of Scotland.
It’s good to be back, however! Happy heatwave
If you mean with the skew-t, then go onto Pivatol weather, go on forecast models for the UK, I think you can look at any of them to click your location for the chart.

Now that's a tasty looking Skew-T if it ever stayed like this (with sounding location and dewpoint temps) EL level nice and high too..
My area in Norwich not looking so favourable at the moment but as it is far out, we know it's likely to change. At least lets hope if and wherever gets to see storms, they stay potent.
Edit: I should also add, it is GFS and most certainly that is likely buffed to what it is actually going to be. (the impossible chart)

Some thunder heard today over Norwich and a reasonable amount of rain. After that I chased in between 2 cells, 1 heading towards Yarmouth and the other Lowestoft after noticing a cell earlier began to rotate on radar just before it went out to sea in Lowestoft. So I was hoping that these storms behind it would have done the same. The one towards Lowestoft looked reasonable but didn't really get to see anything too noteworthy unfortunately and storms were weakening the further east they got. However, it's nice to see the skies stormy for a change. Some nice cloudscapes. Ended up at Lowestoft then went to Yarmouth and back to Norwich.
Edit: another potential storm day tomorrow by the looks of it. Looking forward to what CW's outlook will be.

Nice to see the eye candy but you have to remember that it's going to get watered down. Good example of that was a week ago with the trough moving through too fast.
You never know though, it could move the other way, I know it's tough when you get a few busts etc but it could turn around one time for an epic show!

Storms on MR this afternoon. Will have to wait till Monday to firm up on everythin g but I might have to take back what I said 2 hours ago.
Yeah, it's too early to make assumptions, enjoy the charts, you can always practice playing out a good scenario when the charts look good even if it doesn't materialise on the day

Nice seeing it bubbling up on the rear flank of the storm on the right..

I hope you are joking, and I hope you are wrong as there is no way I'm waiting 2 months for the next storm chance
You mean 5 years and 2 months?

HAHAHAHA THATS WHAT YOU GET WHEN YOU TRY TO STEAL STORMS FROM THE CENTRAL SOUTH!
Evil incarnate! such a nice day though, hot, sunny. At least we got that rather than drizzle

The trouble is now, according to models that theres now an overspread of dry air until it returns overnight. Clouds do keep appearing here but I think the moisture is residual in the lower levels.

The teasing little burger.. this popped up just to the south of me, sat24 showing a little back building of convective clouds and the likes.

I took multiple pictures and this was the best one I could get. I enhanced the picture to make it a tad easier to see but you can just make out the anvil inbetween the two distant trees!
And this is the picture without any enhancement
It's kind of a taster of what we would have had if the setup was further west and a better alignment of the ingredients. Explosive to say the least.
Having said that, sitting in the garden under a shady tree with this lovely warmth is damn nice. Its chosen the relaxing path rather than the excitement one!

Can see it from Norwich, went up like a rocket and its evolving quickly, just seems pointless chasing unless it back builds far enough.

Full chase mode is ready, just in case! Good luck those in the risk area!

EURO4 18z indicative of a marginally severe surface based thunderstorm across Norfolk Thursday mid-afternoon.
I'm not totally surprised about this, although I hadn't really focused on it, if anything develops nearby, I'll head out

Absolutely balmy and gorgeous evening - sat in the garden after eating some whopping great big T-bone steaks. Sensational! Feels as if we’re on the verge of a plume type evolution...make of that what you will lol
We've been outside all afternoon and this evening (Norwich), it got chilly pretty quickly even though it was pretty damn hot when the sun was out earler. Last night was lovely, felt warm, we were expecting the same this evening but it didnt happen.

Thanks for this link. I use it all the time for the USA and didn’t realise that they had exactly the same for the UK. Brilliant and just what I wanted
I've subscribed as a supporter of Reed Timmer and watch his streams both supporter only and free streams and he uses Pivotal weather in his forecasts and recommends it, I just thought it was for the US so didnt look and thought clicking on the areas on the map you want to see a skew-T was fantastic, now I can do the same which is great and no plotting in CAPE or trying to visualise it in my mind either, great stuff! Thanks for letting us know some functionality is for the UK too.
If anything is in reasonable distance from me, I WILL be chasing, good luck everyone!

Great pics. Looks supercellular.
I purposely didn't say anything about it cause I wanted to get at least one natural opinion without prompt. I also agree. I have recorded the radar imagery for that period between 6.45 and 7pm which was when the pics had been taken. Simon has sent all his footage to Torro.

Taken viewing over Braydon Water in Great Yarmouth. This wasn't me Credit: Simon Luckman.
A bit of a strange one from my perspective, nice cloudscapes. First rain came through and no thunder, an hour later some fairly frequent thunder from a cell north of me. Then the cell that went over us didn't thunder at all during the heavy rain. It passed and then I heard a couple of rumbles. Later when it got dark thinking that it was all over, heard another rumble and then hit by heavy rain. No lightning seen today.

Not going to film any more lightning because it's starting to get less frequent and it's starting to travel away from my viewpoint. I've got to admit, I did get some nice shots of lightning! Will upload them tomorrow.
Nice job! Its always nice to get a surprise like that.
