Please post your storm reports here

Covering of grey cloud currently, light rain just starting to fall and winds picking up. Checked radar and this is only a little segment of showers thats broken off in front of the main build up.

Weather forcasts indicate the heaviest rain to hit the midlands around midnight tonight, however the east mids radar shows very heavy (dark red cols on radar) on the 24h radar until after 13:00 tommorow.

Anyone further west from the mids have any updates for me?

re=posting in here for the benefit of the storm leagues etc

wow, that was fun. It's a huge squall line I had one cell to my east, one to my west and one over the top of me. the result= lightning every few second with very loud thunder and torrential rain Loads of cg's and cc's, was really quite amazing, would have been better if it had lasted longer tho. Storms still rumbling on in the distance

I seen double spider like cgs that were only 100yards away, it was really fun but scary

I got pics and i recorded it on video camera. The video footage will take a few days to get online but i'll start looking at the pics

Light rain has now stopped, winds eased off slightly. However the main front isn't expected to hit the midlands till around 10pm tonight.
