East Anglia & The South East Regional Discussion - Part 2

[Keraunic]

According to the chart, there are a good few storms in the Midlands and Lincs, and East Anglia. (that's all providing im reading it correctly lol) Dunno if Norwich may get lucky.

[Steve C]

Crikey! Looks like there's a storm west / southwest of Cambridge.

Weather has been rubbish today here - light (useless) rain and cold.

I think we'll get some decent showers tomorrow all round.

The sferics seem to have died off. You have a better chance tomorrow I think

[Keraunic]

It's raining with slight hail here now and quite dark. Yes, tomoz looks good.

[Keraunic]

18:30. Just heard a rumble of thunder in Norwich.

[Suburban Streamer]

Tomorrow afternoon is looking good for most of our region with cape values forecast to be in the mid to high 300's on gfs 12z.

Fingers crossed once again

Thunderstorm to my north, can see the clouds lighting up and distant thunder but think is going to miss us being overhead..oh well!

[Anthonyb]

Weather profs over On twitter say best place for storms tomorrow, Yorkshire Lincolnshire and EA. Even here won't be torrential or that heavy.

Looking forward to a dry few days after tomorrows showers even though it will be cold and cloudy at least there will be no water falling from the sky.

Looks like a reasonable amount of thunderstorm activity on the Essex / Herts border currently. Maybe you'll get lucky?

Edit.. Actually looking at a timeline, the stuff is moving west to east, so I'm probably more in the firing line, although it looks like the showers are decaying..

My cousin in Newburn - about 20 miles west of Newcastle. She confirms they have hail the size of marbles and fork lightning. Thunder every 30 seconds. Lightning striking ground level. Now that's a thunderstorm!!

We'll have to see re tomorrow. I reckon it's set up for some pretty impressive showers / storms. They might be quite fast moving though.

Heavy downpour here in Chelmsford. About 45 mins of heavy- very heavy rain with thunder/ lightning. Very local looking at the radar. Starting to ease

[Steve C]

Raining heavily here now. It looks like there won't be anything more though (electrical) from this cell. I'll report later if these are famous last words..

Yeah nothing here in the end, the shield was def working! These sort of showers seem to be quite hard to forecast just due to how they form, think your right re tomorrow, one to watch!

[Anthonyb]

Well I'm currently sitting in the persistent dull cold rain over the SE. Can't contain my excitement

[Coast]

Some of the lads from around here at work in Benny Hill were saying they had a sharp frost on the car windscreens this morning - what's all that about in May then?

Well carol kirkwood has just said on TV that even the chilterns and Cotswolds could see sleet today if the showers are heavy enough... MENTAL.

I feel really cold this morning, have put storage heaters back on, trouble is won't be working til 2moro now! Brrr I really hope based on past few springs where its been warm early and we ended up with poor summers that all this weather now means a gorgeous summer...we live in hope, anyway have to deal with what we have and may see some storms today!

[Keraunic]

12:24 Norwich. Very dark skies to the North right now and some light rain, oh my, we've got hail now. VERY heavy.

[Mesoscale]

Bring the rain! some dark skies to my north but looking at the radar it looks only like a light to moderate shower.

[Steve C]

Looks like a storm has developed just w/sw of Bury St Edmunds. I've got to say that the radar on this site is excellent!

[Anthonyb]

Been dry with sunny spells here since 10am so not too bad.

Showers not to far away though!

Twitter guys say EA good for heavier stuff this afternoon, areas to west of London should see things drying up... Hope so!

[Steve C]

Hatfield Peverel has so far had only light showers so far ( big drops of rain though )

It looks like there's a storm on the Dengie Peninsular currently, north east of Burnham on Crouch ( East Essex )

[Suburban Streamer]

Looking at the radar and all that heavy stuff over west midlands moving slowly sw I can't see areas to the west of London staying dry over the next couple hours.

Hoping it turns electric as it moves down but no signs so far...
