Convective / Storm Risk Discussion - 23rd July 2013 onwards

[Static Prevails]

That's seemingly it here in Inkersall, Chesterfield. As always, we missed the main bulk of the storm, but we had some torrential rain (40mm has now fallen today), decently loud thunder, and some lightning. I can't complain.

[Flipflop]

The cell thats going mental north of Notts i can see the top from here in Hull.

That Nottingham storm looks insane! 

Can actually see the massive thunderhead of it from Peterborough.

do you think you can send it this way, lol

[IanR]

Although I can see a lot of cloud bubbling up, and MetO seem to think 8/9PM is our time....

I am just a a couple of miles from you in Hindley, did you get the couple of close bolts this morning ?

 

some bubbling cumulus south and west with dark bases, but not really doing much, very hazy looking, so hard to tell how structured they are , cant really see any storms here  TBH

Constant thunder to my east now, it seems to keep backbuilding and not really moving away. 

Just went round the other side of the building and lots of lightning to my north east.

Nice profile pic btw.

Hmm, I'm not convinced. I think the line of radar returns are it, and they are pushing northwards and eastwards.

 

I think you may be right there as the main convergence zone is in the wrong place, then again there is a small amount here so I'm not going to rule it out for the night just yet.

 

Though I'm not going to be hanging around with the camera hoping for it, I think I'm just going to sack the idea and go to the pub unless something materializes in the next hour.

Wish I could haha. Last night would take some beating though, it was insane! Can't complain really haha! 

I so hope this is a start of a new era for regular storms like the 90's and not just a one off!

[Cloud 10]

Some pretty dark clouds building here now and feels stupidly humid.

[nodrog]

Seem very quiet outside (BLACKPOOL).

Just took this pic of a Squall Line over us about 15mins back - no rain or hail mind.

The strikes seem to be spreading out might see a few more of us join in on the fun.

Got a free pass to storm chase this evening, where would you go 2 hours from Southampton? Don't say Nottinghamshire ;-)

[East_England_Stormchaser91]

met office say 7pm for a storm here, but to me everything is north or west of here and seems like we have missed our chance today

Look at that storm feature coming onto the South Coast near Eastbourne now. If there isn't too much Eastward shift on that, that could have our names on it.

[The PIT]

Looking to the south for salvation. Maybe some new cells going up that may visit me or join the rest in the shredder. Correction just as type they've been shredded and the gap getting wider.

Constant rumbling of thunder, im just too far west to catch in on the main action. Looking good for Lincoln

Sultry 24c here atm looking above something may happen in the next few hours looking at the sky.....east is bright white..... Sun poking through to the nw, sky looking pretty convective and unsettled above and to the sw.....

[Darren Bown]

Just had a look outside and a nasty looking tower is going up to my W or SW, really dark base.

[Harry]

Sky getting darker and darker to the south here. No thunder heard or lightning observed but it looks quite promising

[East_England_Stormchaser91]

Sure i just heard thunder from that Northamptonshire cell.

[john175]

thundering here now

[LadyEv06]

Have I got anything else headed my way? I can still hear thunder and the sky is black.

Odd echo reply in the center?

 

Anyone near by to that....? reports?

 

 

[P-M]

Thomasz on BBC just said plenty of flashes and torrential downpours spreading NE and showed more northern coastal areas under storms - maybe that line is going to intensify as it spreads north?
