Yes I noticed that big blob your way a little while ago.

[Mapantz]

There is a small sniff at some heavy showers later, possibly in my location, Devon/Cornwall/Somerset and up in to Wales. Currently, there's a weakening front, as it clears, the sun should make an appearance in the afternoon, setting off a few showers. There's is some CAPE, although quite minimal. There's plenty of cross-model support, so we'll have to let nature takes it's course.

Kicking off over Europe again today.

[Speedway Slider]

Well, both Leicesters Speedway matches were rained off over the bank holiday weekend.... We pumped around 18,000 Gallons of rain water off the track and rain storage tanks, all to no avail... Hope it's not a pre cursor to the rest of the season, when is this batch of poor weather set to move on...?

Yellow warnings issued for heavy rain tomorrow

 

Issued at: 1120 on Tue 27 May 2014

Valid from: 0400 on Wed 28 May 2014

Valid to: 2355 on Wed 28 May 2014

 

Rain will become persistent and heavy across parts of north east England on Wednesday, particularly across North and East Yorkshire. The public should be aware of the potential for disruption due to localised flooding.

 

Chief Forecaster's assessment

 

The frontal zone bringing rain to eastern England on Tuesday will move northwards on Tuesday night to become slow-moving across north east England during Wednesday. Rainfall accumulations of over 30 mm in places may cause some minor flooding from rivers or from surface water.

 

Covers

 

Yorkshire & Humber

East Midlands

East of England

Feeling quite cool with the cloud and light NW wind. It looks like it should brighten up later with a few showers. Hopefully, they will be beefy.

[William Grimsley]

Some quite pokey looking convection building in places, temps up compared to a day or so ago - unless you're under any greyer damper bits.. A few scattered thunderstorms more than possible later, slow moving and potentially dropping a lot of water in a short space of time.

Front is just clearing now so hopefully something later on this afternoon/evening.

Looks as if there some sharp beasties just to the south of me

[Panayiotis]

Yes it looks as though Mapantz interpretation is going well with the sun out here, and feeling quite humid with cells now developing....

[Bolt from the Blue]

Feeling muggy out there with a few dark clouds and convection bubbling up. Hopefully something will spark up later.

[NO LONGER POSTING]

Really would not get hopes up about any thundery stuff today 

[Andy Bown]

Cells beginning to pop up on the Dorset coastline and inland in Somerset (near Wells especially) with more towards Bristol.

[Bolt from the Blue]

Raining here, big drops

[NUT]

Seems to have been a few strikes to the southwest of the central belt. If only there we're a few miles north................

[Mokidugway]

Some bubbleupacus apearing here , annoyingly blocking out the warm sunshine !!....

[ancientsolar]

Been looking dark here in SE Wales for hours. Like a thunder teaser cloud ~_~ ~~ Chop chop, start giving me more entertainment than my computer games!

[Speedway Slider]

2 sferics just popped up around Glasgow/Kilbride area, real or ??

[William Grimsley]

Lots of good looking cumulus congestus clouds coming this way. The temperature has risen slightly, the sun is becoming brighter and it's starting to feel slightly muggy now.

I think so, seen them on Netweather for quite a while, would'nt be surprised to see at least 3 thunder cells across Glasgow 50 mile radius.

[Andy Bown]

I'm really hoping for thundery activity to kick off in the active line which is continuing to develop in a line from Warminster to North of Bristol. At present it is running just West of here in a North-South line. There seems to be a lot of misty murk though so it's difficult to discern any towers but instead it's just pitch black in that direction!

[William Grimsley]

Getting black to my NNE. Come on clouds do something! LOL

[Dami]

Hi all.

 

Been raining here pretty much since early morning. Nothing exciting.

[alibabba]

Has been raining heavily non stop all day here and bloody chilly too feel sorry for people here on their holidays at least the arcades/cafés will do well as people want out of their caravans with kids

[William Grimsley]

Still no action. Oh well better luck next time.
