[Darren Bown]

Looks like things are setting off on its eastern edge, exactly what we need!

[MR EXTREMES]

Night time?

 

Looks like all is dying off for today now. Bit disappointing for the Midlands so far but oh well, more chances this week.

Heavy rain here currently, but as said by others, it seems all seems to be dying out 

[andy989]

Anyone know if tomorrow will be convective again?

In Portsmouth for 3 weeks, but back in Peterborough for the weekends. Looked impressively dark earlier on. Hoping for some sferics to kick off over the Channel in the next few hours 

[StormChaseUK]

Small clip from this evening

 

[Convective]

Shame it all seems to have pulled together into one big messy area of rain. Maybe the odd sferic somewhere in among it overnight.

[IanR]

I had slight hope for an evening thunderstorm , but I knew it was too good to be true here , being realistic its going to be just moderate rain here no doubt,  then again I had  a 3 flashes of night lightning on thursday, 

 

thats the years quota used up then  

[Darren Bown]

The eastern side of the front hasn't materialised as it should (by now), but is now just heavy rain with the odd flicker mixed in.

 

EDIT: The track seem to be NWwards (the rain) while the front moves NE, but by the time it gets to NW England, it'll all be in N Ireland and the Irish Sea UNLESS there is development on the eastern side.

But nothing happening out here anymore. Only rain with a few heavier pulses mixed in!

Tomorrow looks a little flat... But Weds regarding CAPE looks another interesting senario/day and how that will come about we will see over the coming day or so ?

 

[Mokidugway]

Looks like a rainfest , electrical activity seems to have died the death !!....

[East_England_Stormchaser91]

One thing catching my attention is the Sahara dust deposit left from the rain! Theres loads of it!

[Darren Bown]

Definitely the eastern part of the band with any sort of energy left in it.

[Cheshire Freeze]

Looks like a bust now sadly. Looked quite promising from the warnings etc.

[Supacell]

Back home now after calling bust, hopefully midweek will be better.

[Mokidugway]

Well at least some got storms , better luck next time I guess !!.....

[ChezWeather]

Good start to the storm season i suppose, nothing here but like mokid says, we did have some in the UK.

 

I have high hopes for this year!

Distant Rumble here in Portsmouth after a some of that heavy PPN past through.

Currently there's more going for Weds than today ? With the Dam 546 line well over us, bringing warm & moist air over the uk.

Cape also bringing the ingredients that could be a very thundery outlook for some
