Storm & Convective Discussion - 01/03/15 onwards

[Hocus Pocus]

I've only just stumbled into this thread and what a great thread, keep up the good work everyone.

[Pursuer of Storms]

Oh now this is exciting. Just seen the severe convective weather and storm forecast and I'm in the green spot! I shall have the camera at the ready, just in case. 

[Spikecollie]

Looking forward to tomorrow's sculptural clouds - I'm flying to AMS from LBA and then onto Nuremberg...camera definitely at the ready!

[NO LONGER POSTING]

2 very pronounced squall lines on the radar now!

 

[Pursuer of Storms]

Looks like a squall's just about to hit here. Uh oh...

 

13.25 - It's been and gone now. A bit anti-climatic really. Looked very dark and menacing as it rapidly approached from the west, gave us a few minutes of very heavy rain but nothing else.

That was one hell of a show here!!

[Harry]

Total non-event here, not even any heavy rain. There was barely a breeze to speak of.

 

Let's hope for a rogue heavy shower/thunderstorm tomorrow...I can't recall the last time there was so little convective weather over such a long period. 

[Dami]

That was one hell of a show here!!

Hi toast, looking forward to the one storm summer will bring us this year? (lol)

 

Yep, although had the bin not fallen over would i even of guessed it was rainy/windy out.

[NUT]

The showers are going 10 a plenty up here now. Could get some grumbles tomorrow particulairy maybe

[matty40s]

A grumble from this one, just heading to Northampton.

[Convective]

Good skies about now!

 

[Mapantz]

Lovely b/w image of all those lovely showers out to the west:

The deadly trampoline!

Thanks for the pics.

[Supacell]

The first sferics appearing on the radar now - North Wales and Manchester. Hopefully the start of an exciting 48 hours with pulse storms aplenty.

[Mokidugway]

Forget the enhanced Fujita scale ,should have one for trampolines !!.

[carl1980]

Hail shower just passed,showing a few strikes 15miles East of me

[Mokidugway]

Can see anvils and lenticular clouds out over the Irish sea ,somthing for later perhaps ..

[NL]

The 'tornado' in Wales today has not been confirmed, eyewitnesses have said that a fierce wind lasting over 5 minutes...seems like it may have been straight line winds along the squall line..

[lassie23]

Thunder, lightning and hail forecast for London tomorrow. So it should be a dry, sunny day instead then.

[Weather-history]

Intense heavy shower with hail.

[Thunderbolt_]

Just had a heavy hail shower here that produced a rainbow. If it's hailing, then doesn't that technically make it a "hailbow" instead?

Interesting cell to South of Isle of Man,seems to be exploding into life :0...

[IanR]

seems to be a few cells skirting around me to the south and moving towards manchester, anybody got any T and L from these, not a drop here but nice convective skies, makes a change
