 Lt. Dan next time I get the bus down there I will!

I’m seeing overnight activity moving NNW from the eastern side of the French coast. We even have a thunderstorm warning for Bath.

 

weird, but exciting!

Looking at satellites and radars suggest there is more activity across the Biscay than expected..

Swiss Hx4 seems to have picked this up well but perhaps an hour later (10pm bst shows the radar display quite nicely). This develops quite a few storms around the channel islands and moves straight north through the day tomorrow. 

Very messy, highly uncertain. Best looking at radars and stuff now.

 Electricmumma Agreed - I’ve watched so many storms over the years from down along that coastal area and the views/clear horizons are champion

A few showers and isolated thunderstorms are expected to develop across parts of southern England on Saturday night, but by Sunday morning there is an increasing risk of more active and organised heavy showers and thunderstorms moving in to, or developing across, parts of southern England. The risk of storms will then steadily transfer broadly northwards through the afternoon and into the early evening.

The extent of these thunderstorms is very uncertain, and many places will miss them, but where they do occur, 30 to 40 mm of rain may fall in less than an hour with perhaps over 75 mm in one or two places, leading to a chance of flooding and disruption. Frequent lightning strikes and hail will be additional hazards, most likely across southern and central England.

 Electricmumma tbf, go to Hastings purely off of distance, in between Folkstone and Eastbourne so could help? i haven't looked at any models so this is just distance based?

[CoventryWeather]

Back with the Midlands MCS feature tomorrow afternoon. 

Develops near Cherbourg during the morning (9/10).
