Storm & Convective Discussion April 2016 Onwards

[NO LONGER POSTING]

Gonna be some serious flooding under that cell in Kent it just aint moving!

[Atmogenic]

Took some pictures of the storm cells as they built up during the afternoon

[Mapantz]

Doesn't look like a lot from the PWS's - 2 - 9mm. I expect a fair bit is evaporating.

Could indicate a nice hail core as well.

Is that a snapshot of netatmo rain gauge sensors, mapantz?

Thank you, and yes when the anvil was forming I couldn't stop looking at it and was treading in mud and all sorts because my mind was focused on the storm cell

[Flash bang flash bang etc]

All quietened down for the time being, which is good while stuck on the M25 in traffic...

[ThundersnowDays]

Two pretty tall clouds to my SW with a third one becoming quite tall as well but so far nothing. 

[Flash bang flash bang etc]

Hope the rest of the day isn't a bust :-O

[Neilsouth]

Storms have died here, nearly 2 hours worth of a great thunderstorm! Best for a few years

[Ben Sainsbury]

The sky looks disappointingly stable this evening, no evidence of any showers let alone storms...:(

[Flash bang flash bang etc]

Hmmm, the X factor seems to be missing

[Gordon Webb]

tomorrow is the day according to the beeb with widespread storms through wales midlands east anglia etc etc

thought the beeb was in association with the met office who have scattered showers with local hail and thunder

one of them is out of tune

[William Grimsley]

Hello everyone! Me and @Evening thunder were going to chase this afternoon but were happy that we didn't turn out in the end! As we've experienced in the past, too much mid level crud limits the development of showers and thunderstorms!

[Arnie Pie]

Some good convection to our West ( Severn Valley way)

Looks pretty dark and ominous to my west, over Oswestry. No T or L thought. Dark and Cloudy here. 

[East_England_Stormchaser91]

Cracking CB to my east producing strikes now. 

[Ben Sainsbury]

Very Nice Cell by Peterborough!

When you look for the smallest bit of hope...

[East_England_Stormchaser91]

storm has just blown up in Lincolnshire! Shock haha 

[Supacell]

Right that is work done for another day. I haven't missed much so far around here but am now watching that shower south of Ellesmere in Shropshire. It looks heavy and is heading in my direction slowly.

[Flash bang flash bang etc]

Potential storm brewing nr Southampton. I've got about 2 hours for chasing before I need to head home, so bring on the evening's entertainment!

[Flash bang flash bang etc]

I can see a tall tower on the horizon - looks like it's over Horsham / Brighton way - growing pretty quick too!

[Ben Sainsbury]

Can't wait to see this Brighton cell on the radar.

The more you hope the more you get
