Oh yes.

The sky looks very "stormy"

The current PPN moving up seems to be almost perfect at the moment with Glos / btol etc.. pretty much in the centre of it all.

Plenty of flooding no doubt!

I hope everyone that wants a storm gets one! My 82 year old nan told me that she's going to sleep with the curtains open tonight in the hope that some lightning will wake her up as she loves a storm too bless her!

Thundery Plume engages later tonight but more especially tomorrow afternoon and evening. Highly complex evolution and still some uncertainty on areas likely to see the best engagement. In terms of major CAPE (LI) zones and lightning the highest risk looks to be where VORTMAX and strong PVA overlaps during strongest SFC heating during Thu 12Z-18Z across Midlands, East Midlands and Northern England. Strongest frontal differential is projected later Thu PM across East Midlands, Midlands and Pennines running parts of North West with forced line convection likely. Refer to graphic below for following:

* Purple outline regions = SW Wales and N Wales (parts of NW England) model output suggests areas of excessive rainfall bias in these areas through the morning hours of Wed but also through Thu - likely through orographic enhancement across higher terrain on passing of cold front and warm theta-ew plume.

* Next blue region highlights show potential for thunderstorms embedded within the flow.

* Dotted blue hatch lined areas superimposed across highlighted blue regions indicate areas of strongest PVA overlap with CAPE good thunderstorm risk.

* Red line area is core zone of heaviest PPN potential and highest lightning risk. Although thick RED line indicates strongest frontal differential and CAPE integration and areas around E Midlands favoured for lightning potential and thunderstorms. Anywhere within the outlined areas could see lightning activity enhanced, especially to the East of the area.

​Good luck everybody! I dont't own this forecast!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Midnight onwards I'd say guessing by the speed of rain movement in the NNE direction.

Pouring here now but there's a gap behind before the thundery part which is currently in the Channel.

If anyone has been following Ian on twitter, you will notice he now mentions of minimal lightning! The embedded Thunderstorms being very localised!

Going to be a nervy night! Lol!

If this thundery plume edges slightly more east then Swindon might be in for a shout, fingers crossed.
