Convective Potential - June 13Th >>>>

[r6 steve]

i hope so mad murdoch we had a nice little TS here end of march but nothing since then.

[Snowyowl9]

not looking great re the showers in wales, seems like they are dying a death in the usual spot; near the welsh border. oh well, at least there have been some amazing cloudscapes today across the board, and some heavy rain to go with it. high pressure to contend with for the time being

Thers some pretty large TCU to the SE of here growing into the now dead old storm.

An unusual set-up afterall,wind is back to NW and showers are moving NW to SE.

Im going to stick my neck out, N lincs, Humberside area (sprunehorpe area) may get that stuff south of us in S/SE parts of lincolnshire now.

Its as if there is to main areas of interest.

Lincolnshire thunderstorm heading northwards, and the home counties (around the london area) the 2 zones are moving anticlockwise, the stuff near south yorkshire now seems to have reached its southern most point, before it pivots back Northwards.

Looks like it exploded around Peterborough/Rutland around 40 mins ago. Can anyone confirm this? The radar showed loads of lightning strikes around that area and there was torrential rain in it too.

A few loud rumbles in the distance but that was all.

My stomach is making louder rumbles after a chicken tikka massala.

just to report that to my SE (Louth) we have lightening moving NE, as of yet no rain or noise however it is moving in fast i expect it to be over me in 15mins or so.
