[Guest ChaserUK]

Good Morning All

Please post any sightings/ chase logs here

[SP1986]

at 1am exactly I had a thunderstorm with thunder and bright lightning the best since 2001!

[du_snow]

Nothing here last night, again.

[Supercell]

CG lightning and really loud thunder at 3 o'clock

I just can't see anything happening this afternoon or tonight, sunny with little cloud. I might be wrong but I can't see where anything will come from.

[Guest ChaserUK]

Nice storm in Colchester right now - thunder as I type - lots of lighting - been ongoing for nearly an hour now! Also, we had some thunder earlier on around 2pm so all in all I am very happy so far

[Guest ChaserUK]

- need I say more

[STORMGUY]

here at cannock staffordshire about 5:06pm a isolated crash of Thunder acompanied by a gust front,moderate rainfall to.its gone slightly cool now.

[Guest ChaserUK]

Storm has passed but my WS clocked up max rain rate of 13.5mm per hour, total of 2.6mm fell. Interestingly, DP of 16.1c here at the moment which I think would indicate thsat the cold front not passed yet so could be in for some more! or am I being greedy?

[SP1986]

cold front passed over you ages ago I think. The cold front should be over the Netherlands by now

[waverider uk]

can here lots of thunder in the distance now

looking at the charts I should get some storms soon.......I hope

[Guest ChaserUK]

19Z RADAR shows a nice line of strong looking storms now developing - seems to be a line from London to Great Yarmouth I'd say!!!

Chaser if your chasing there is a huge cell currently heading for South Essex coming from London probably between Brentwood and Billericay may move North, if your going the other way North Suffolk and South Norfolk look VERY interesting. Let Us Know.

Cheers

:shock: :shock: :shock: - VERY loud thunder heard in Colchester again, skies becomong VERY dark to my West !!!! 3rd time today maybe?

[Guest ChaserUK]

Can see nice mammatus above me now and lots of thunder - where is the cell I was planning to get on the A12 Paul - site on there for a bit?

[Guest ChaserUK]

:shock: :shock: :shock: Have to say this storm is like what I saw in the USA!!!! MASSIVE CG and VERY loud thunder - the rain was certainly severe limits, masses flooding, could not see out the windscreen - never seen rain as heavy as that in the UK - the lightning is blue and purple and the most fantastic pic of the gust front! Just like the storms you get in the USA!! It is clearly well organised and there was very ominous scud or possibly funnels hanging out down near where the gust front intersected the main rain core - well worth the 6 week wait

I got some wicked photos to show here but when I use yahoo they never seem to stay here - I will give it a go though:

[stevestorms]

never mind Matt, I believe yer nah really see a line on AVBRIEF of Tstorms turned me detector on and it was going stupid! I thought I had broke it but then turned on the trusty AM/MW BAND on the radio and wow :shock: was I suprised, only one thing to do get out in it, sounds like you got some more of the photographic stuff, ours was a little featureless really, but always nice to see.
