Convective/storm Discussion

Thanks for today's summery Coast, I like the fact you use different charts to show the outlook, very informative.

Met Office just Issued a Be Prepared warning for Lincs / Norfolk and Suffolk for possible Heavy Thundery Downpours this afternoon and early evening. I have a feeling this may extend into the North Essex area for later on in the 18z timeframe.

One to watch today

Plenty of big showers missing my area by about 5 mile so far. all the action is just to my SW

[sunny scunny]

Chucking it down now

[chionomaniac]

Clouds bubbling up here with different wind direction inflows depending upon the level. Looks like there could be a convergence zone here.

Just perhaps I may see a very weak funnel form! (the needle type!)

[Harry]

Judging by that there seems to be a CZ across the SE too...though this is probably not going to lead to much I feel, forecast this morning was isolated light showers.

Seems the line of showers stretch from you to me!

[Muffelchen]

Funnel cloud observed about 5 - 10 miles to the West at exactly 13:00 as I was travelling North on the M18 past Thorne. Pulled of the motorway at Goole but cloud was gone - lasted about 2 minutes. Probably N of Doncaster at the time.

First FC of 2009 for me: alas no pics as I was driving on the motorway :-(

[Lynxus]

Met office have heavy rain and thunder warnings for the East.

Most of the showers are to my SW, but it's getting rather dark here once again.

Heavy rain now. It's like a monsoon

Had two heavy showers now, big downpours. Kind of ruined my plans for going out this afternoon

[evil monkey]

MetO surface pressure chart for 13:00 is showing a trough running across England NW to SE...

edit - roughly from Blackpool to Felixstowe

The last shower has just passed through, but another one looks to to be heading straight for me

[evil monkey]

The cell over the Wash & N Norfolk looks to be intensifying.

Would be interesting to see, you have done really well for storms lately.

Down here, I have had one real storm this year, which lasted about half an hour, thunder heard very faintly on 5 other days but lot's of near misses. Doing much worse than last year.

Not much sign of any great convective potential heading this way any time soon either.

[sunny scunny]

The wind is picking up bigtime here and the sky is very dark. nothing happening yet surprisingly.

Heavy rain now.
