Heavy rain/storms Thurs 19/7 - Sat 21/7

[dogs32]

I could be wrong but I reckon that thing grew over the hill here and exploded into action and died when it went across the valley..flat land

[StormChaseUK]

Yes they are showing on the radar as convective small cells which build in 10 mins, die, then build. very rapid development

[grab my graupel]

At their present rate of travel they will be here in 90 minutes

Guernsey has them as 2 weak and 1 moderate up to now

Are you staying up then Russ as it is looking promising for you and looks very likely

to be bang on target again IMO

Have you seen the activity around Hastings atm Potty? I think Tamara could be in for a real treat tonight

Yes I will wait and see what happens, I certainly shan't need to get up early, all I would do is make a mess in the mud with me tractor

The earlier storms perhaps give a hint as to what we may be in for, IE the lightning was the sudden very loud explosion that scares the living daylights out of everybody sort

All that ground Laval mist I saw was interesting as well, I reckon its an indicator of just how wet its going to be.

There was much more mist than is usual even if the rain was falling on tarmac that had had full sun on it all day, which it had not...

Russ

Looking mucky Brian. Hope Tamara gets the hang of that camera fairly quickly. I think Tamara could have a real treat every night if she wanted..

[Mad Murdoch]

I am debating whether to say up or not..

[pottyprof]

I like to stay up Kelly.....

[mark-anstee]

[grab my graupel]

I am debating whether to say up or not..

Yes why not Kelly

Still looking very nice in the Hastings area CG strikes being recorded out that way.

Looks like good fun

[Rustynailer]

Guernsey radar now has two weak storms one of which is intensifying and one strong storm in Normandy

[dogs32]

we have thunder here on and off....trying to work out the direction

[HighPressure]

We have been here before 3 nights ago, I signed off about now waiting to watch a direct hit from a mamouth storm that could not miss, not even a distint rumvle that night

[londonsnow]

might be an idea to start a new friday thread on the up and coming rain event mods...?
