Convective Outlook

[cyclonic happiness]

A friend of mine in Coventry has reported a big shower and there is local flooding in the area.

Heck really? i'm 4 miles from cov just to the north, it does look rough over that way.

No thunder here yet but i can now seea good squall line/ gust front forming, might get a funnel ot of this, keep your eyes and cameras open :-)

[ANYWEATHER]

If you look at the latest radar ,along with the wind charts you can see quite cleraly a convergence line ,of which is affecting my area!

[skyblusam]

So where does the West Midlands County stand for some convection storms for the rest of the day? Cuz many a'time i've sat and watched and waited for nothing to happen, not the most fun i've had lol x

[Wilxy]

Convergence zone with the line of showers well in line atm so maybe still worth keeping an eye on.

[cyclonic happiness]

WOW!!!! this is so cool, you can actually see the two air masses meeting! the clouds from the north are colliding with the clouds from the south!! it's right over my house atm, and it's gone deathly still, no rain as yet or thunder, but there are some really weird cloud dances going on.

Thats mad no rain yet its been raining here for about 30mins now and im only 2miles max from bedworth

Hmmm, evidence of convergence happening further north of the trough than I thought.

[Mesoscale]

What a surprise im still in the no storms club!! haha its a pretty nice day out now with clearing skys and a couple of cumulus clouds floating about no convection unfortunatly!

You can see the fight going on between the air masses, the north wind is blowing much harder toward the southerly one atm and the convergence line's stopped, right over beduff!

Must only be about 1/2 mile away the rain?

[NorthantsSnow]

An angry looking cloud is chucking out rain mixed with hail. No thunder yet.

[BornFromTheVoid]

Some very heavy showers along the south Irish coast at the moment. Under one at the moment in Cork city, not thunder yet though.

[Costa Del Fal]

Sferic from a cell in Worcestershire.

[matt_in_dudley]

Large mass of towering dakr grey cloud to my South and South West, slowly creeping in this direction. Anyone in the Walsall area seeing anything?

[Costa Del Fal]

Convection is looking amazing around this region, and also a very interesting observation- to my east, clouds are moving north and east, and over me and to my west, clouds are moving southward. And now, cells are developing rapidly south of here- a sferic detected on the cell over Worcester.

All good but i feel its too late for anything significant now.

[NorthantsSnow]

Goodness me that is a torrential downpour if ever I saw one. FIRST RUMBLE, Northampton.

[Tim B]

Looking like north wales and even my area may get a pasting from newly developing rain storms over the next hour or so.

[CardiffStorm]

I can see a lot of convection to my North/North East at the moment but absolutely nothing here, I've got blue skies and sunshine.

[BornFromTheVoid]

Heaviest rain we've had here since last November I'd say. No thunder as of yet, though the traffic could be drowning out any in the distance.

[Lynxus]

I really cant believe my luck.

The storms were south of glos, Now are north of glos.

Not a drop of rain.

Looks like the convergence line will drop south ( by about 5 miles ) and then head north again.

Completely unbelievable

[cyclonic happiness]

Some really quick convection going up just to my north now, this cloud wasn't there 20 minutes ago!!!!

Rain has just started here.

[NorthantsSnow]

Rain easing off a bit now after a pretty localised downpour. Other than that one rumble of thunder though, that was about it in terms of storm credentials.

[sbiggs]

Can see rain starting up again in Bedford/Northampton area and heading this way. Will keep you posted.
