A real slow burner of a day, the only significant action on radar was that cell explosion over Blairgowrie. Really muggy and humid, must be hottest day of the year, still hopeful of something brewing late afternoon.. 

 

Fife looks like getting the fun at present..

Few spots of rain here now nothing terribly heavy. Yet

[tempestwatch]

Looks like the convergence zone is setting up further east than expected, focussing on areas such as Perth, Dundee, Dunfermline and Edinburgh. Hopefully this will move to the left a bit and give some action to us further west. A bit more convection bubbling up around Alloa recently, I saw that shower go up over the Ochils.

Just looking at that now, does seem a little flat though at the moment, lets hope your wish comes true for a westerly shift

[shuggee]

New activity popped up over Auchterader and headed SE.

[over_the_rainbow]

Reporting in for Storm Watch 

 

Currently still dry and grey here - and of course muggyroo! 

 

P.S you will all be pleased to know I managed to get 2 lots to dry on the rotary outside today.

Slowly but surely it's all starting to kick off. Fingers crossed for an interesting few hours

 

OTR: That's good going, plenty of washing down here if you're bored later in the week :lol:

[Buriedundersnow]

is there any of my scottish friends on here that can do things with pics like put arrows on and words and things but it has to look proper

I can be fairly proficient at words and arrows and things, but haven't used these skills much since uni. 

[lorenzo]

Yep , can put the odd arrow on things BUS. What you after?

can i pm u and tell u what i need as it a bit of personal matter

[Ross B]

Dark bases now over the gyle, going to kick off here soon I suspect!

[sn0wman]

Sun coming back out, hopefully this will get that convection going now. 

[lorenzo]

Noticed on the convective thread W09 keeping an eye out on dewpoints, looking favourable at last report.

 

Shugee that little fella you spotted over Auchterader seems to have got it's skates on in the last 15 minutes.

[Scottish-Irish Skier]

Picking up in east lothian now.

 

Some mean looking clouds gathering here at Riccarton, W. Embra.

[shuggee]

Patience seems to be today's key word.  Which is fine as it's a public holiday here, and all very relaxed!

 

Not much in the way of electricity so far....

Aye, it scooted through the radar echos quickly - green, yellow, red....

[sn0wman]

Clouds really starting to bubble up now. Think I can just about spot the anvil of a cell behind the Ochils.  

[Scottish-Irish Skier]

Moderate rain on here at Riccarton.

 

EDIT, ok make that heavy rain.

Watching that one from Edinburgh park ss, certainly the sky is getting darker but too murky to see any structure.

[Guest]

Aye, I will see what I can do bus

Latest METAR at Edinburgh Airport:

 

EGPH 201520Z 29005KT 9999 FEW027 TCU BKN045 21/16 Q1013 =

 

The TCU part is what you want to see if you're looking for storm potential, TCU = Towering Cumulus.

[Ross B]

Woah. Just seen the convection around Bathgate! Think this is about to get va bit more widespread.

[over_the_rainbow]

Completely missing us in Perth - not blowing in westerly enough. However, it look like its converging on Embra.

 

- Aye right, Catch! 

[NUT]

Everything floating in a south east direction (away from us) quite a nice day now after a cloudier spell

Awww OTR, what kind of a weather buddy are you?

 

Aye, Lothians and Borders look to be in the firing line

 

Edit: NW Radar showing lightning strikes way out from the mouth of the Firth of Forth.

Remember you're high and open up there at Westruther - unplug things. We've had a few direct hits over the years here and they tend to  melt stuff that cost money
