Gotta say,

I like the look of the feature that is building southwards. looks to provide some interest in a couple of hours

[dogs32]

Keepin an eye on some of those showers to our direct west. Still on a head on collision path.

fingers crossed.

hi southernskies what are you hopin or recon is gonna happen down here tonight?

[TonyH]

The first band will give heavy and prolonged showers for the next couple of hours over the Coventry area, there is a bit of a gap following but then the more scattered showers over Wales (not had much here today) will probably arrive late evening.

[❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️]

51% storm chance here tonight, can't see it happening.

Ah the heavy rains has finally arrived. Taken it's time.

I must warn you (and others), i had similar posts to that deleted because apparently they weren't on topic, despite referring to a convective shower as i assume you are doing.

Not surprised that band is moving nowhere fast

well i will say now that i know very little, but im hoping that it will continue to develop as it has on its eastward journey. it has built from very little and extended southward from the main clump, so just something to keep an eye on me thinks

[andy_leics22]

Storm obsessed much?

[dogs32]

I wonder if the metoffice will update their warning for glos etc..

Odd that they havent, however they do have a good nack of only updating while it happens.

I think the heaviest of the precipitation is going to stay throughout West and South Yorkshire, and then later the Midlands, it does appear to be pivitong ENE, although as it pivots the energy is transfering South and weakening on it's eastern most edge. i may catch a little rain, but I won't hold my breath.

Snow for me 10 miles...

UK storm 60 miles..

Usa 9,000

[r6 steve]

yeah that clump to the west seems interesting lm looking forward to later at around 10pm-2 am looks like the weather is very slowly pushing south/southeast

[Mesoscale]

Pretty dark to my southwest now! looks like its building but it doens't look stormy yet!

[TonyH]

Lively showers heading for MK looks like could be thundery.

[dogs32]

maybe that small trough ahead of the main heavy rain is going to be the most strongest Storms...currently forming heading into the direction of the Home counties

I'll be happy to stay under this rainband

let the showers/storms go to wales gloucester and all places south

[SnowJoke]

Lots of Ac Cas filling the sky now with some small breaks between showing bluesky. Was quite windy too, but in the last hour it's gone eirily calm and still. Fingers, toes and anything else I can find crossed for later on. Not had a good nightime lightshow here since may 2005

Shouldn't get deleted as it's on topic. Rain gone back to being light. Sat under the main band no lightening or anything just steady rain. Still think it's a dead duck as far as weak storms go.

Just seen a new band breaking out in front of the main one perhaps that will be where the storms are.

well it's now starting to hot up over the West Wales, Looking forward to the possibility of chasing tonight, batteries charged and a van full of diesel

that's why I'm hoping this rainband stays essentially where it is
