Convective weather - 2nd-3rd November 2011

[Cheshire Freeze]

The skew-t hasn't brought very much in the way of SEVERE weather so far from what I can see though.

Is it really necessary to labour the point so perpetually and vehemently

[Dom W]

Torrential rain at the moment. Very mild out there, almost balmy for early November.

Just looked back on the posts in this thread so far.

Guys, seriously, I am only giving my opinion. I am not being horrible or anything.

It is for somewhere 200 miles from you though eh?

Crikey, just drove through some seriously heavy rain on the way home.

No-one thinks you are being horrible, the odd moaning post is OK (even I have the odd moan) but it seems to be the same point your labouring, post after post. Just be patient

Don't know, all I can see is a nose of orangey red with a number one in the middle all the way from France and stretching right across most of the United Kingdom.

But that's my point, where do I start?

EDIT: And I have read the forecast as well.

I guess constructive criticism is needed here, not just slagging various forecasters off.

Putting into perspective every outlet has issued a severe level of some sort, whether it be Nick here, ESTOFEX, UKASF, TORRO or SkyWarn they all say severe weather is possible, and there is some significant tornadic damage reported in Redditch earlier. In my book that satisfies the warnings that were issued? But if a more IMBY view is taken, then I can see your point.

Also have to consider what do you expect from severe weather? Because severe in the UK differs to that of more continental climes...

where do I start?

Was an ok day! No thunder but some intense downpours and a different condition in the sky every 20 mins. Ive seen it all today from cloudless blue skies to ominous pitch black walls of goodness, chewing a pack of batteries in the process lol To cherry up the day, as the rear of this monster of a storm passed just to my East, it let me have some Mammatus Cloud - My first time seeing it ^^ (pic)

So tomorrow the girlfriend and I are getting up at silly O'Clock and heading East with some mobile Internet and a fresh pack of batteries. Is it too soon to talk targets?

Cheers,

Ray

If your close to Hastings keep an eye out in the enxt 10-15 minutes, strong cell coming up from the channel and has really plused up in the last hour or so.

Allready seen this!

I meant where do I start as to basically mean that I havn't a clue really what I can expect.

The French radar is looking perky! Might that have some thundery activity when it gets to the UK?

Oooh Mama!

When did you snap that?

Torrential rain and thunder. Bolt of lightening right in my garden! Love being in NE England- fantastic stuff.

I'm not saying a word

[A.J]

oh?

stop nit-picking....I was generalising, and stand by my post, a lot of over the top forecasting over the past 24 months, many of which not in-line with NW convective forecasts & Skywarn forecasts (those two are the one's I find most accurate)

Just what I predicted yesterday.

NORTHEAST ENGLAND will get the storms!

And yet again, it appears that is exactly whats happened again today.

[Mapantz]

Dorset/IOW is looking pretty funky tomorrow. Probably more chance of something tomorrow than today.

[Dom W]

Rain stopped unsure if I heard thunder though

[Eskimo]

The rain over France has definitely intensified!

[kold weather]

CS England will probably have to keep watch of the area over the Channel Islands right now, looks like the coverage is increasing at the moment so its probably in a strengthening phase.

Feels odd to be talking about this sorta thing in November.

I hope your right!

Tomorrow I will be even more angry if I don't get at least one rumble.
