    I know. :lol: Those are, I presume, associated with the trough in the Irish Sea.
  2. chrisbell-nottheweatherman
    Yes, my report for that event was "Storm report - crashing thunder at 11.08, another crash a few minutes later and a few more rumbles associated with a short but sharp shower."
  3. chrisbell-nottheweatherman
    So, with the rapid advance of the CF, the result is a line of thundery showers as opposed to a big, wide mass of them?
  4. chrisbell-nottheweatherman
    Thanks again - I know about occluded fronts, just was making sure I recognised what I saw! MetO pressure charts are showing 2 CFs and then a trough over Ireland?
  5. chrisbell-nottheweatherman
    Thanks! Just one more question - on the MetO pressure chats, does a purple front indictate an occluded front?
  6. chrisbell-nottheweatherman
    Thanks 09 - didn't see your reply before. How can there be 2 CFs in succession?
  7. chrisbell-nottheweatherman
    Where are the forecast team when you need 'em? Anyhow, radar seems to suggest that that line of storms and showers is now heading out over the North Sea. Quite overcast here now, but dry and breezy.

    Thanks Coast - I can't pretend I understand all of those markings, but that looks about how I imagined. Speaking of CFs, is there any rule of thumb as to how far in horizontal surface measurement that cold sector air undercuts the warm, moist air? In other words, how far infront of the indicated position of the CF will the arrival of cooler air be?

    Hello local member! Whereabouts in Norwich do you work?
  10. chrisbell-nottheweatherman
    Looking at the radar, it's hard to tell where the CF is. Anyone got a good idea? (I'm going to have a look at the other charts to see if I can detect it, but I've never tried that before).
  11. chrisbell-nottheweatherman
    Breezy, sunny intervals, but a sharp thundery shower approximately 1 hour ago. More in the area, according to NW radar.
  12. chrisbell-nottheweatherman
    Yeah. No lightning observed, though I was in the bathroom at the time () - I suspect it was IC.

    Storm report - crashing thunder at 11.08, another crash a few minutes later and a few more rumbles associated with a short but sharp shower.

    Lovely day here, as, though it's hotter than ideal for me, the breeze is reducing the close, muggy feel we had yesterday.
  15. chrisbell-nottheweatherman
    Sorry mate - didn't know you were a regular!
  16. chrisbell-nottheweatherman
    Seriously, Paul, dependent on which of the Broads and rivers you intend to vist/cruise, do take your camera - you should see wildlife. Also, there are some very picturesque areas. Just don't forget to be safe and make sure you're all wearing lifejackets - there are deep areas and weeds in those Broads.

    Quite a brisk breeze here, and, though hot, it's not as humid-feeling today as yesterday, which reduces the "building-up to a storm" feeling. Jim Bacon on Look East at just before 2 pm opting for fizzling CF this evening and only light showers tomorrow. :blink:
  18. chrisbell-nottheweatherman
    I find the LE forecast often gives more accurate detail than the national one.
  19. chrisbell-nottheweatherman
    Bit hot for waiting in a car as I was earlier out at the industrial estate near Snetterton, but yes, pretty good summer's day, though it feels a little humid to me.
  20. chrisbell-nottheweatherman
    I didn't know the Cromer carnival was tomorrow - let us hope for good weather for that. Certainly, the Look East forecast this lunchtime suggested storms/heavy showers developing infront of the CF on Thursday late afternoon into the evening.
  21. chrisbell-nottheweatherman
    Warm, dry, scattered cumulus and altocumulus. I should point-out that this is my first post to the forum since I requested my username be changed - I was "w0033944" but felt it was too anonymous. No prizes now for guessing my name! :lol:
  22. chrisbell-nottheweatherman
    Starting to get the gist, mate - not exactly expert!
  23. chrisbell-nottheweatherman
    Well, Coast, I've followed the links you provided, and I think I'm getting the gist of it. :lol:
  24. chrisbell-nottheweatherman
    Mainly overcast, though with bright intervals. Dry after light overnight rain.
  25. chrisbell-nottheweatherman
    I too, would be interested to hear one of our top people explain what happened (or didn't happen). Also, I can't read skew-ts for love nor money, so any private message tutorial from Coast would be welcome, if that were possible. As for here - looking back over the NW radar, we did get some rain, but it all seemed to fizzle. Much cooler here today, though it still feels humid.
