Storm & Convective Discussion - 16/07/15 onwards

[NO LONGER POSTING]

More storms now firing to the west of this band too

I did say this along with other posters earlier..

Trust me, it's not over till the,fat lady sings

[Paul Ashford]

Thunder in Ashford Kent

[Rain123]

I'm really confused - are storms due tonight or tomorrow? Some say yes, some say no.

[Mokidugway]

Some soggy migrants in Calais I would imagine :0..

[Bolt from the Blue]

Just look at how many strikes that storm is producing in Belgium, must be quite a sight!

[Gordon Webb]

Hmmm. That lot over Benelux making a turn to the left somewhat? The same thing happened last year on July 19th and clobbered East Anglia..

 

if it follows it current track could clobber east anglia GFS 12z had it just to the east of the coast the 06z had it slightly further west

Some soggy migrants in Calais I would imagine :0..

 

perhaps lightning struck the fence they were holding onto problem solved at a strike sorry meant stroke

[SnowBear]

Hmm, Ipswich area could be in for an interesting time soon.

[Lauren]

Beeb playing it down now saying the risk of torrential rain and thunder is 'low' and that the graphics are 'pessimistic'. Do I sense a last minute change of mind before the graphics department could downgrade their images?

[NO LONGER POSTING]

The cells to the south of that band os what the majority of us need to see explode

But East Anglia is game on if it can get there

[Gordon Webb]

latest bbc forecast has the main attention according to them focusing more on the north and west overnight with some locally torrential rain this appears to be than band from sw England wales going upto into sctoland they also show some lightning symbols for much of england but I suspect that's a bit overdone their grpahics don't match what they say on their own forecast then for tomorrow this band move from west to east not really amounting to much until the afternoon when locally heavy and thundery downpours are possible again in SE england and east anglia as front goes through something they're keeping there eye on so stay tuned

[Supacell]

The cell to the NW of Amiens could have anywhere east of London in its sights. Agreed on East Anglia looking good too. I am considering taking a trip out if it can get as far north as say Lincolnshire.

Those storms are cresting a n environment for themselves! Jheezze

I would say so yes after that in the SE moves northwards their attention moves to the rainband out west which is due to move eastwards tomorrow and could generate thunder downpours in the E/SE tomorrow afternoon

[Cloud 10]

Something large incoming from the SE.....

Look at the radar and sat, it's being pulled further and further West like it's being stretched out by the upper winds..

Also cells to the south of this are taking a much more NW route and hopefully can punch through and get elevated..

Expect the unexpected

[Carl46Wrexham]

I'm really confused - are storms due tonight or tomorrow? Some say yes, some say no.

Some say TomAto...some say Tom-ar-to...

Let's call the whole thing off.....

Nothing for our parts. Latest beeb forecast showed a swathe of central southern England under heavy rain and lightening for later on this evening but just think they're covering themselves ! Tomorrow pretty much the same apart from a few moderate rain periods zzz

YEP BBC just covering themselves with that spread of graphics even though East Anglia could get hit from that in the SE most of it still currently over the water moving north and most precipitation forecasts show that easing between 2100 and 0000 of course take that as you will

Anyone in Clacton or Walton on Sea, Orwell river area and Dedham Vale up through to Ipswich?

Gone really gloomy here in Colchester, no rain yet.

Blitzortung says lightning 23 miles SE.

[UKSupercell]

Well that was a depressing day. Spent most of it working outside and getting p155ed on. Where I'm working at present in Surrey, not far from Heathrow, we had some persistent moderate-heavy rain and two rumbles of thunder and nothing else. Highly boring. I can see that as per usual it was a Kent Clipper although Sussex got in on the action too. 

 

And holy mother of God has anyone seen lightningmaps.org?!?!? 

 

Exploding over Belgium! With a bit of luck it'll give the bureaucrats from the EU parliament a soaking. 

[pookie1989]

What does everyone think shopshire will get? I really dread these storms, but looking at radar, hopefully just heavy rain. Thankyou 

[Weather-history]

Sky looks threatening at Antwerp

[andymusic]

now that the beeb and the meto have backed off a tad (as they do sometimes jinx it) - we should get our storms lol

[East_England_Stormchaser91]

The things id do to be in Antwerp right now...!
