    Brilliant - thanks for the info - I had long wondered how a front could be shown as warm and cold in different parts of the same front - now I know!
  2. chrisbell-nottheweatherman
    Good idea! Yes, mw, I saw that too. Actually, can I ask a stupid question? If this is a warm front, which normally gives light ppn, how is it causing electrical storms?
  3. chrisbell-nottheweatherman
    Nothing showing on the lightning overlay, though...

    They use the same graphics, but, gven that Jim Bacon and (I think) Phil Garner are Weatherquest guys, I doubt they'd use MetO data, or at least, I'd expect them to put their own spin on it. In fact, thinking about it, Jools sometimes says "the computer's showing X, but actually, I think Y", which suggests that Jim and the WQ folks (including a namesake of myself) interpret it given their own data.

    Indeed. Do you watch Look East and the forecast therein, Paul? I think I'm right in saying that the forecast comes from Weathercast; certainly, Julie Reinger was talking about some hefty rain for the western half of the region this evening. Sorry, make that Weatherquest.

    OK, I suspect this would, were it not for the "current affairs" aspect of this, be better in the learner's area, but here goes: Compared to the guide in the NW guides for storm setups - Spanish Plume, how much different is the forecast situaton for tomorrow evening/Friday morning?

    Reminds me of the Honda ad, but better. The song is great, too.
  8. chrisbell-nottheweatherman
    Great images!

    It ain't who you fancy, it's who you are that's being questioned, Coast!

    The two that I was aware of were the second and fourth. The second passed between here and Norwich - really threading the eye of the needle.
  11. chrisbell-nottheweatherman
    Must be about that. Almost cloudless sky now!
  12. chrisbell-nottheweatherman
    Now saw CG bolt to the north - approx. 4-5 miles away. Heavy rain.
  13. chrisbell-nottheweatherman
    Another fty storm coming in from the west - 2 large flashes of lightning and low, rumbling thunder.
  14. chrisbell-nottheweatherman
    As I said in the storm reports thread, we had a light storm (but with squally rain and strong winds) around 13.40. As I type, a line of a couple or three cells is approaching from the west, I've been hearing thunder for a few minutes and just saw a flicker of lightning. Clouds very dark and angry-looking.
  15. chrisbell-nottheweatherman
    Storm passed just south of here around 13:40 hours - saw a flash of lightning (not directly, so don't know if it was CG or IC) and heard several rumbles of thunder. Accompanied by squally winds, heavy rain and some hail.
  16. chrisbell-nottheweatherman
    Seems to be back now?
  17. chrisbell-nottheweatherman
    By the looks of it, the fleeting shower we had a few minutes ago has flared to the East of us. Plenty of convective cumulus around - looks interesting.
  18. chrisbell-nottheweatherman
    A sunny period mid-morning after earlier cloud and rain didn't last - almost complete cloud cover here with light rain on and off and getting breezier.
  19. chrisbell-nottheweatherman
    True, and I think that quote is me and meteorology as a whole!
  20. chrisbell-nottheweatherman
    I suspect it's the Essex cell heading your way.
  21. chrisbell-nottheweatherman
    OK LOL, I meant, how can you tell from the radar image?
  22. chrisbell-nottheweatherman
    How can you tell that it's rotating?
  23. chrisbell-nottheweatherman
    This it?
  24. chrisbell-nottheweatherman
    According to StrikeStar it isn't.
  25. chrisbell-nottheweatherman
    The feature in that first photo - left of centre - is that a funnel clud, or a downdraft? I'm not knowledgeable enough to know, but it's definitely a lump of cloud coming out of the main cell?
