Storm & Convective Discussion - 02/07/15 Onward - Heat & Plumes

[stainesbloke]

Been like a strobe effect disco for the last hour and a half here, lightning in all directions. Only a couple of forks seen clearly and not much thunder. Good fo see nontheless.

[snowwonder]

Mental storm near Luton airport. Constant lightning and deep booms of thunder. Crazy

Looks like more to come.

Best storm in a decade

[P-M]

some thunder in Sunderland  

 

 

I thought I heard something you know but thought I was just hearing things

[East_England_Stormchaser91]

This is going to be nasty!! Near constant flashes being observed now!

See you lot in heaven

[Homerr]

Calmed down here a bit now I think the cell that was over Slough has now moved over here - noise has almost gone now seems very elevated but still a great light show going on

Anything more heading for me in anybodies opinion?

Harry - you were right about being patient!

[poseidon]

Like being in a disco strobe light here. Now got torrential rain. Cell to my west is a prolific lightning producer with some shotguns thrown in.

[davehsug]

A distant rumble!

[sunnijim]

Distant thunder and lightning again to my South! What a night this is.

[Staffordshire]

Luckily I got a brilliant (if brief) light show on Wed night so it makes it slightly easier!

i didn't see a single flicker, ha! Think I'm going to bed in a massive mood as the radar does not look at all inspiring

[Harry]

Lightning getting brighter from the south and more frequent (I think)

[mishy]

Still going here. Flashes every few seconds, loud thunder and it's bucketing down!

[Ben Sainsbury]

I must say the GFS have pulled this off extremely well!

[fazer76]

Most manic storm episode I've seen for ages, started off in the distance then boy it cranked up alright! Fab stuff. Great to see and hear, here's to more.

[Mesoscale]

Best storms I think I have ever seen in the UK (I'm only 23) haha

[Homerr]

I'm looking north towards Watford at the moment at the stuff that's gone over head already and to the west as well (yay for North/south aligned flat)

[ChezWeather]

Am i right in thinking that the storms are now moving north into an area of fairly high CAPE?

[chionomaniac]

London is circled by cells!

[A Frayed Knot]

Torro put this area under a threat of high level thunder ' AND ? 

Still waiting .

[Allseasons-Si]

That London storm is extending north westwards.

[weatherobsuk]

Just back from the pub, seen a few strikes from the cell in south cheshire heading this way.

[Ben Sainsbury]

That storm that formed SW of Bournemouth has been going on for 2 and half hours now!

[Aiden2012]

What are My chances in Bridlington ???

[Costa Del Fal]

Round 2 from the south now. 2 flashes in 15 seconds.

[Norfolk Sheep]

Stunning! +1

Oh how I wish I could see that for real....

[Ben Sainsbury]

Am i right in thinking that the storms are now moving north into an area of fairly high CAPE?

The CAPE now is certainly highest towards East Midlands into East Anglia so quite possibly!
