Hoping for it here to go bang today.

I believe if anything does happen then it should pass pretty close to us.

There is support for good DLS in the far SE  until about 6pm . Small chance for a little rotation, maybe?

How far would that DLS reach inland? I tried time lapsing the clouds to see if there was any shear present but my phone fell over  so I will try again later. The sun has started to come out here so fingers crossed.

Had 4 rumbles of thunder here from that heavy rain mixed with hail shower. Sadly did not see one flash though.

Main bit looks to be missing me by a fraction, hoping that more develop behind the band of rain now.

Blitzortung has 3 strikes, one just now, while lightning maps is showing nothing and NW's a bit slow. 

But yep will go just to north of me.
