Plenty of convection around here at the moment.

 

Will it, wont it.

[Gordon Webb]

just a reminder to those who might be chasing after work the showers / storms are not expected to last deep into the evening

[Gord]

A few big drops of rain around here and dark skies to my north and east...

Let's see what happens next.

[Darren Bown]

It's still very clear out west. Huge CBs out east.

[Mr_ Nexus]

Just heard distant thunder

[Costa Del Fal]

Just heard a distant rumble to my north.

It's weird, that line out east was forecast to be slightly further west but at present it's just not moving. I'll call it a day towards 6 if there's no headway.

As I say this, something has developed just N of Northwhich.

I presume you're wanting it to move West? It's moving East at the moment..

Something definitely developing to the N of here, can see through the haze quite a well defined structure developing, probably that radar return over Northwhich. Hopefully it should have some decent energy to tap in to and shouldn't be impeded by the stuff to the east.

[Costa Del Fal]

Gusty winds now too. 

[STORMGUY]

Wow massive bang of thunder

[Gord]

Certainly seems to be getting going here now.

The wind feels amazing too.

[Supacell]

I don't need a storm here as I saw enough yesterday but the air does, it is so warm and muggy here. 

From watching the cells that were between Macclesfield and Stoke earlier it appears they are moving very gradually eastwards rather than westwards.The heavy showers that were near Leek about 2 hours ago are now approaching Ashbourne as drizzly rain. 

[Darren Bown]

Looks like it's clearing here from the NW.
