Uk Convective General Discussion & Forecasts, 27th June 2012>

[A.J]

Its going to miss me

No I don't think it will miss you, just to reiterate from earlier it's building on it's eastern flank and heading straight for you...PPN is fanning out ahead of the storm and even though we've lots of thunder here currently, the main action is still a good 20 miles or so to the SW near Bridgnorth heading NNE towards Cosdall

[Jane Louise]

Its gone really dark to my West.Im off outside with my camera lol

[Cheshire Freeze]

Just looked at the radar and wish I hadn't. Unbelievable how much that thing veered east. A bust for here now today IMO and I'm off back to sleep. Good luck to the rest of you lot!.

[Kain]

I can see how we missed out, but for it to turn so much and miss Telford was a bit harsh, had a real right turn in terms of the strike locations. South Shropshire had all the fun today!

Bridgnorth got it...still have it! I can finally leave the NSC and join the No Kitchen Club :o

[Darren Bown]

Some more sferics in the Irish sea and sw Wales too!

[Mesoscale]

Whats that the west never gets storms?? well I never! haha im just joking, its good that people are getting storms we just need them more widespread!

[SalopWatcher]

on the last radar, a intense cell has just shown up north east of Whitchurch heading for Crewe. No lightening yet, but one to keep an eye on. Conditions much be ripe as it went from nothing to a big signature on the radar in 10 minutes.

[Darren Bown]

Last 5 minute radar pass shows a very small shower popped up north of

The main storms. That could be NW, Cheshire's storm forming?!

[Liam J]

More strikes detected off the coast of Wales and over the Irish Sea following on behind the area of PPN to the north, hopefully things will start kicking off

[Paul Sherman]

Looks like an MCS In the Making right there, should be a close call for Western parts of Birmingham, Yorkshire looks set for some fun and games, enjoy! Huge raindrops here from developing showers these will all be heading into East Anglia soon, expect the next radar scan to explode cells into life across lots of England.

[Hathers]

Soooo much lightning around today and I'm taking a group of students to West Mid Safari Park lol.

[weatherobsuk]

Now looking at the western edge of the Anvil through a gap in the Ac Cas, looking quite nice although no discernable features other than the anvil-head itself.

Blimey you have a short patience threshold, it's only 9.30 with the hottest and best part of the day to come yet!!!!

I'm glad I don't go to competitive sports matches with you, we'd be going home before the players were out of the changing rooms!!!!!

[A.J]

Bridgnorth got it...still have it! I can finally leave the NSC and join the No Kitchen Club

me too....constant thunder, very high based so not too much visible lightning right now......and this is just the leading edge of the complex, and look at that 2nd multicell that's fired to the SE of this one......Oh Happy Days!

[Lynxus]

Im tempted to ask my boss for the rest of the day off so I can head a few miles north lol!

PLEASE!!!! Something pop up SW of me.

[Cloudwatcher]

[matt_in_dudley]

I should really go to sleep, i've been on a nightshift and finished two hours ago and i'm still awake lol....mad

[AWD]

PLEASE!!!! Something pop up SW of me.

I'm trying mate, I'm trying! Lol

[Lynxus]

WOW, Another storm has just rocketed up in chepstow!

Slightly further south thius time.. Could i get the edge?

Lets find out..

[Chris W]

This thing seriously needs to take a left turn! Do storms have SatNav? Tell it to plug in Crewe (for my storm starved Cheshire East friend there) and then Warrington .

Very sunny here right now.

[Hodr]

Is there a chance of them cells to the West of Wales developing and reaching here? Everything is kicking of a bit far East to reach these parts at the moment.

[Harve]

At first I was looking to be too far east, now it seems I'll be too far west. At this rate it'll be tracking over Burton and Nottingham.

[Static Prevails]

Looks like I'm in a good spot!

[I remember Atlantic 252]

thunder and rain now, but looks like the direct hit will be east of here

[SalopWatcher]

To me in the last 15 minutes the strikes have "stalled" a bit over Bridgnorth. Not so much eastern movements and struggling to get north of the M54
