Storm/convective Discussion

[Nick F]

Thought I'd start a new thread as it's nearly Friday and likely to be rather busy.

Sorry have been too busy to issue a forecast for Thursday and Brick hasn't been around. But have issued one for Friday:

Fingers crossed this sticky atmosphere here tonight will yield something in the next 24 hrs over west Kent.

Can i add that since there has been numerous posts about it, can we please leave the Michael Jackson chat for the appropriate topic in the cafe B)

Enjoy the storms whoever has them, i'm jealous!

[mark-anstee]

[Godot]

WOW. This is hands down the best storm I've seen since moving here in 2003. I've got loads of lightning photos and some of them are stunning. In absolute weathernerd heaven.

[03jtrickey]

Can I ask the experts - what's the latest on the expected track of this MCS currently approaching IOW?

[Thundery wintry showers]

Nothing close to Exeter but still getting the occasional flash.

[Kain]

I want some =(

[Wilxy]

I also want some what time do you think bristol will get it some we have a warning.

[Paul Sherman]

Cant wait to see them, load them up

Still awaiting my 1st Uk Lightning shot :lol: Amazing seeing as I have taken over 200 from the States. So it really is the lack of Storms not the equipment.........honestly :lol:

[dogs32]

talk about slow moving storms :lol: ..well at least they will give a good show

[davehsug]

Watching the Bounemouth webcam & there doesn't seem to be more than a flash every 5 minutes, so whatever is happening down that way isn't that exciting.

They may linger on late into the evening tomorrow, but I think in your area of the UK it should be clear by nightfall.

[dave48]

Looking to the south west from Bath I can see the very distant flashes every minute or so.

[Nick F]

Mainly heading NW along plume axis, though the loop suggests it spreading a little north too towards the Sussex coast.

The trough to the SW is lifting slowly N and NE, so storms will likely break out further east across Sern England with time.

I'd love to be on the south east coast right now :lol: :lol:

Nick F , you think its worth staying up?

[Nights King]

It all looks a little to far south to hit the bristol area unless it starts to move in a more northerly direction?

Does anyone think they will head north abit more because all the storms have been passing to the south of me this evening although i have seen a few distant flashes and the ocasional rumbles of thunder. All quite disapointing so far. :lol:
