She just said take a brollie out with you (in Kent/Sussex) tomorrow, no mention of TS ... about right I'd say!

If your not happy with her Nick we could swap her with one of our forecasters

Ok..Im prepared for tomorrow....

heading for the South East for the evening lightning...maybe Oxford way my limit...or north towards Brum and far as Yeovil South

Remains of that Manchester cell probably just passed over me, no electrical activity or high winds but was some pretty heavy rain in it.

[Cheshire Freeze]

Small cell grown to the north of Shrewsbury just now

[ZONE 51]

just read nicks storm forecast , another exciting day!

for us in the SE at least the feature that will be creating the storms is moving SE! so the further towards kent the more likely to have something after dark i think...anyway storms are needed down here arnt they 0-:

Anyone in Llandudno in North Wales? Seems theres been a tiny cell just off the coast there that has barely moved in the past hour and registered a few sferics..

[SNOW GO]

Here in Crewe around 6am we had a very heavy shower with the sky looking very dark another storm or heavy shower might be on its way.

[dogs32]

showers growing fast in other areas already like Hampshire and Manchester are fairly torrential by the look of things

been watching the radar and there is certainly large showers exploding rapidly all to our West and South...

Looking more of a chance today

[slb97]

Morning all,

Just got to Southampton for work and the heavens opened - shame there was no thunder to go with it!!

[SteveElbows]

Im still waking up but it looks like the 00Z took a lot of the action much further south west and the met forecast has removed pretty much all of the daytime heavy showers from my location.

[SteveB]

Well if the local weather done by Ian this morning is to be believed, then once again I will miss out on all the action, with most of it to the south of me through the day, then some showers in the evening passing to the north.

[vortex_liam]

look near reading that thing might turn thundery...

Looking at the last NMM & GFS charts, I would say that you're just about in the perfect place to see a storm & possibly something more exciting....The zone of low level wind convergence is slap bang over your head during the time of maximum daylight heating, coinciding with the highest CAPE values & lift....you lucky beggar!.....

[Coast]

Well, as near perfect as you can get in this uncertain storm year!!!

Yep, Pat should be on full alert today

[alr1970]

They're very localised, dry here.

Andrew

[ANYWEATHER]

Well yes, I think perhaps Pat, if he dont mind perhaps we can share a few storms later!!

[Cheshire Freeze]

The rain just woke me up. I'm not joking, that was some of the heaviest rain i've ever seen, ever. That intensity has only been surpassed on a couple of occasions.
