General Storm Thread

[Backtrack]

The general low level cloud is clearing here, only to reveal this lurking above. The photo doesn't do this clouds height justice

What photo? :lol:

[Wet'n'Dry]

What photo? :lol:

Sorry, it's there now !! Passing overhead and filthy black base plus it's massive, nothing from it yet.

[Costa Del Fal]

Lots of Anvils but doesnt seem to be much heading this way right now. :lol:

[Lynxus]

Some great convection to the east now, Some awesome looking towers popping up ( Seem to be appearing as lines now )

Finally, Something more organised appearing..

[Supacell]

Thanks for that CreweCold. I think a trip back home and to the pub is the best option for me :lol:

Cool.

Looks to be very dark toward the eastern side of that photo!

[RichardR]

No storms or showers coming this way, but for once I am glad to say it, as it's giving the sun a chance to shine here which makes a big change.

No worries mate Doesn't sound like a bad idea that! Fingers crossed for some decent storms in the next week eh

Yes, It has got very dark now but I can see brighter skies behind it and still no rain/hail or anything

Two loud rumbles heard here finally at long last my storm drought appears to be coming to an end WHOOOP!!

[loopydreamer]

:wallbash:oh poo that nice heavy looking shower is going too far north of my location!

[Costa Del Fal]

Not looking all that interesting at the moment. Nothing very heavy. Not much thundery activity and showers seem to be starting their dive SW here.

[kamboocha_mushroom]

WOW

A lovely, long rumble from a fast-approaching cell to the Northeast of here. Wind picking up.

I can't believe that something interesting has finally come this way!

Those are some gorgeous cauliflower tops and little pilius on there too, I can almost feel the warmth of the sun and the humidity in the air from that pic. Awesome

Edit:Bit late but I can confirm T+L on the cell that went thru Glos. Had quite a few rumbles and a couple of flashes, including one very close one up here on the hills

[A.J]

looks like a possible trough is moving roughly east to west through the east midlands currently, certainly showers organizing themselves into a line......will they produce or not?, the 64 million dollar question... :lol:

[Jane Louise]

Had 2 very distant rumbles of Thunder over an hour ago. Nothing since. Now the sun is coming through and there's convection popping up everywhere:) I have 51% chance at 7pm lol

[Lynxus]

Omg,. these towers are rocketing.

If i hadnt drunk so much id be up on the hills taking pics

Fingers crossed they head this way in the next few hours..

[A.J]

looks very promising for the guys down at Ian's NW bbq down in Evesham

I can see plenty CBs headed this way, were not done for the day. If you drive you should go find somewhere to watch!

Finally what looks like a beast of a storm approaching, one day with thunder here this year and i was away for it! Please Thor, do your best.

aww u so lucky! im going to miss it! its going north of me

[Supercell 89]

Alas no storm for us yet, 3 rumbles and no visible lightning from a cell to our west and just had a short torrential downpour, must say i can't remember the last time it hammered it down like that, netted 5mm of rain in as many minutes.

[A.J]

nice clump of cells about to descend on Birmingham

Always look more thundery than they are these days. Looked really impressive coming over but just rain so far.

[philglossop]

The downpour at Villa Park has to be seen to be believed according to Final Score on BBC.

Villa winning by the way!
