The showers are seemingly surviving the Pennines, so I may do well today.

Don't think there is any chance of ANYTHING here.. no land mass for convection to initiate. :'(

[Lewis]

Seems most of the action is to be around the West Midlands, Chesire Gap, Lincolnshire running through down to the East Midlands & Later EA.

At the moment I'm in the "GAP" once again, for Yorkshire we need showers to start forming NNW of us.

Some impressive cloud tops out there today, good look all and those of you chasing stay safe!

If you guys get pictures, and/or videos of storms today, even if there's no lightning but plenty of rain/hail etc, send them to me and i'll put them on our website

Edit* Just had some hail stone in Hull and heavy rain.

Seems to be a mass of heavy stuff bimbling down the Aire Valley towards Goole at the moment. Everything is seemingly skirting around me..

(Drax Power station is producing the small white blob to the lower middle of the right hand edge)

Someone south of Crewe is having a good lightning show looking at the RADAR and Sferics, I could see the cell in question only a couple of minutes ago but has now been obscured by some mid-level clouds moving across locally. Looked impressive even from here.

[vortex_liam]

that storm in the midlands is going to be BEAST

[Stormraider]

Think just heard a rumble from cell to the NW of here.

[Costa Del Fal]

Kicking off now in the North Midlands drifting ESE/SE wards.

A Very impressive anvil on show here towards Oldbury way by the looks of it but given its size it could be much further away!

[Cheese Rice]

Yes some very heavy persistent hail too, temperature 6.c

[A.J]

surrounded by anvils, but nothing happening...I'm underneath that cluster over the NW Midlands currently....no rain, no thunder.......yet!

[NO LONGER POSTING]

HEADING STRAIGHT FOR US!!!

[Serendipity]

Nothing here yet, surrounded by some fabulous cloudscapes and ever so often it goes very grey but nothing...

[A.J]

HEADING STRAIGHT FOR US!!!

lol....I think not.........well, the good news is that I can hear thunder coming from that cell just to the west of Stafford....very impressive to look at and on radar!

edit, in fact, quite loud thunder now...yay!

[vortex_liam]

HEADING STRAIGHT FOR US!!!

I think its going too far east, although it may change and expand...

[TornadoJo]

Thunder
