Would love to know where these shower clusters in the southeast should be. Just cloudy and chilly here.

Some fantastic anvils on the horizon this morning. Definately anvils, which is surprisinjg considering I didn't think storms were forecast.

We have only had heavy showers here today with some small hail. No thunder though so day 0 so far of any storms in 2012.

Suprised there wasn't any lightning to be honest as there were quite a lot of dark cumilonimbus clouds covouring the whole sky. :cc_confused:

Most lightning in the winter months will be near to the coast due to the difference in temperatures between the sea and land.

That's why the frequency has been higher along parts of the South Coast and Bristol Channel areas this last few days.

Yep!!!! Driving home down the A27 to the East side of the Downs I could see the flashes of inter-cloud lightning from 6.45 until 7.15pm last night. Very bright but well out to sea and sporadic.

A very nice way to light my way home! :yahoo:

Any of those fantastic Convective forecasts with those charts for us Coast?? for this Saturday?

I know what you're thinking Robbie!!!!

Nothing of note for Saturday really and it only shows a little bit of something going on Sunday as that triple point reaches the SE:

gfs_spout_eur45.png

gfs_lapse2_eur45.png

I wouldn't rule out some convective possibility, but I think it may be down to now-casting and a bit of radar. Now as for thundersnow.........

Its all up in the air!!!!

Ah fantastic Coast!!!

Yes, an absolute London Covering, or for once some decent Thunder? It's generally when you least expect it, that it comes along and I was thinking this surely is an ideal situation for something special to happen, especially for the south east.

I think it may be wrong somehow! :unsure:

But just thought I'd ask, you know how it goes, I want a storm Lol :winky:

Hi Jane,

I'm just on the wrong side of the downs to see the sea but nothing here in West Sussex. No echoes showing up on any radar that I can see, not here anyway. If the alerts are automated (which they almost certainly are) then there are quite a few factors which could trick the system into doing so.

Sorry lovely, here's to a better 2012 storm season though eh? Let's face it, can't be much worse than it has been for us! :rolleyes: :lol:

HUGE anvil to my distant south earlier, presumably it was the cold front finally pepping up to the east of the Pennines. The temperature gradient must be quite steep, but probably not enough for thunder.

Hopefully I'll be visiting this thread a lot in the coming months, the last few years have been quite good for storms in the NE.

Chance of some thundery showers skirting the far NW of Scotland on Friday night. Just a low risk, but there's nothing else worth posting in here at the moment :)
