No thunder or lightening here but absolutely hammering it down at the moment.

Whilst I still dont think much will happen, esp for the South, the NMM suggests the West Midlands region will have some of the greatest instability in the southern portion of the UK.

I think tonight will mainly be a Linconshire/yorkshire/north east england and eastern scotland event. Whilst tommorow is mainly Kent/south east england and the east midlands (with something a little less potent in the areas I first mentioned.)

If it electrifies, that is. Here's hoping. Great storm approaching the Boro', however. Looks immense!

Just had the first near-overhead thunderstorm of the summer in Sandhutton (there have been thunderstorms nearby on several other occasions, but nothing more than distant lightning and muffled thunder).  A convective cell sprouted up to the south and while it wasn't electrified as it passed overhead, it produced frequent thunder and lightning (including several displays of fork lightning) as it slowly retreated to the E and NE.

Skies looking very threatining now, wouldn't be suprised to see a flash soon.

It looks like you've got a good chance of seeing some thunderstorms later this evening. Everything around your area seems to be rising quickly! :D

Heavyish shower here at the moment, clouds building all the while.

Moderate rain for a time here as the skies glowed an eerily orange hue indicating there's a back-edge to this front somewhere out West across the Irish Sea. No thunder as of yet but with the risk increasing as the night goes on up to 2am at least the chances look good East of the Pennines, one of those nights where watching the R+L festival on the box seems a good alternative instead of the boozer.

Yes I have I wish it would come towards SW England, though. Nothing really for SW England, now. :(

 Valid: 23/08/2013 1900z to 24/08/2013 1200zHeadline: ... THERE IS A RISK OF THUNDERSTORMS FORECAST ...

 

post-1052-0-02165100-1377285952_thumb.jp

SynopsisUpper trough to the west of the UK will continue to progress eastwards over the next 24 hrs removing the influence of the ridge dominating much of Europe to the east. A split cold front will move east across the UK tonight, becoming slow-moving on Saturday as a shallow low develops over SE UK/Low Countries.

 

... N ENGLAND, THE MIDLANDS, SE ENGLAND AND E ANGLIA ...

 

Thunderstorms have developed this evening across NE England in response to convergence of warm/moist air ahead of cold front moving across the west. Further thunderstorms are likely to break out overnight and through Saturday morning as height/pressure falls and surface convergence create forced ascent of the warm/moist airmass in place. Vertical directional shear will be rather weak, but strong speed shear will allow storms to organise into clusters and form line segments with a risk of isolated damaging wind gusts. But with high precipitable water (PWAT) values in place across eastern England, the risk of excessive rainfall totals leading to flash flooding will be the main threat from any storms.

Quick developments to my south just north of Coventry. 

 

Light rain falling here currently on what is a very humid feeling evening. It does have a thundery feel out there now. If anything does happen I won't be chasing tonight as I have my kids here. So, short of waking them up to take a midnight drive I would need storms to come overhead or nearby to see them.

 

Tomorrow a different matter though. "We're going to find somewhere nice for a picnic kids... get your wellies and coats on. I will go fetch the boat!" Posted Image

Absolutely bucketing down here now roads are becoming mini rivers - no thunder yet though.

 

Edit:  I am sure I can hear distant thunder....

You really notice the skies going dark at 8.30pm now eh, much better chances for watching lightning in its raw form although I have a feeling for us in the NW we're now just too far west under the cooler air to see anything significant for tonight, tomorrow is a different story however especially with a LLC setup.
