Tomorrow was always meant to be the better day anyway, hoping the Met warnings shift east and cover me!!

The thundery activity is interesting in the South Wales/Herefordshire area...Its drifting slowly NNE and moving into an area of enhanced surface Cape and lift, it might, repeat might intensify over the next hour or two, which is good news for parts of the west midlands (including me!) as it's heading for Worcs/Shrops/Staffs and then into cheshire

Blitzortung is showing a fair few sferics about the UK recently. The main focus of attention currently appears to be cornwall and other parts of the southwest, so good luck to all of you down there.

I think the above is pretty much as suggested it would be by the TV and Netweather forecasts.

I'm not very hopeful of anything other than a bit of moderate rain overnight in Newbury but the precipitation developing over the Brest region of France catches my eye and seems an area to keep watching.

Kind Regards

Quite a confusing picture tomorrow. NAE/Meto want an extensive area of rain over much of England but the GFS and NMM keep this reserved for the SE and far East thus allowing Thundery potential for Wales, SW, West Midlands and North Western Parts but if the NAE is right then thundery potential is restricted to the far West. I hope the GFS/NMM are right but knowing our luck the NAE will be right this time! laugh.png

Nothing thundery or even showery today - quite a bright if breezy day. The Cbs have always been across Wales. I'm sure if the wind had more of a SW element we may catch something as there are plenty of sferics within striking distance (if you pardon the pun). Fingers crossed for later.

Torrential rain, thunder and CG lightning in Hereford.

Gone out of the no storms club in style.

I knew it:P Loads heading your way. If storms stay in the same track we're going to be getting it for a few hours hopefully.

I hope tomorrow delivers something as today has been rather dissappointing here!!

Met think storms will be in the same places again tomorrow, a little to west for me!!

Need to push it further east!! ( how often does a westerner say that ) lol!!

IMO tomorrow isn't looking as good as what it was here, but there is still potential!!

Can see the stormclouds in Wales though!!

CURSES!....drat & double drat!!....looks like those thundery showers over south/mid wales are going to pass to the west of here, I can see a long line of anvils, but looks like they're drifting due north now according to radar....Telford to Shrewsbury passing up towards Oswestry & Wrexham should get a nice show though

Actually less confident now about seeing another storm. Looking at radar it's moving mostly northwards and turning away from me typically...

Yep, Precip not so intense right now anyway. Really dont know what to think about tomorrow. Probably fairly unlikely for us though.

Showers seem to be more to the west today, not sure if anything is going to head this way later or tomorrow.
