[Guest ChaserUK]

Just in case anything kicks off earlier please post your obs and sightings here please!

[Guest ChaserUK]

looking at the 16z METO radar I expect those storms should be here in about an hour

[highcliffe2]

Where are you today Chaser?

[Guest ChaserUK]

Newton Abbot in Devon!! Quite a good location by the looks of it!!!

[highcliffe2]

It certainly does, on the lightning detector I think there's some storms to the south of you

[Guest ChaserUK]

:shock: We have thunder in Newton Abbot !!!! Sky looks very dramatic but want to save my camera memory for tomorrow!!!

[Guest ChaserUK]

CG!!!!!! Very high based storm with quite defined inflow bands devloping - very dark updraft base - perfectly smooth - amazing

[Guest ChaserUK]

Quite a bit of CG now - still quite a young storm and LP - very nice indeed! Really loud thunder overhead now!!! WOW that was close :shock:

[Guest ChaserUK]

:shock: :shock: :shock: WICKED STORM!!!! Massive raindrops and sun!!!!! Lightning very close and thunder defening!!!!

[highcliffe2]

Would you know what direction the storm is heading?

[Guest ChaserUK]

HUGE CG just struck or something just a few yards from me!!!!!!!! i HAVE NEVER HEARD SUCH LOUD THUNDER!!!! Hailstones now too!

[highcliffe2]

Chaser, get a picture or two

[Guest ChaserUK]

VERY heavy downpour now!!!! Sun out and storm slowly moving away, still lots of CG and thunder though

[du_snow]

Same storm just missed me! :cry:

New pulse now appearing!

[highcliffe2]

Some nice storms now showing up on the lightning detector, I think they're heading my way!

[Guest ChaserUK]

storm has moved on, no thunder or lightning, must have been a single cell, however, new updrafts forming at the rear - might start kicking off again! Also quite a few high based towers around - well 4 storms in five days, not bad and we got tomorrow yet!!!

[highcliffe2]

Storms just to the west of me at the moment, I don't think they're going to transfer east

[highcliffe2]

I've just had a great storm, still continuing actually with some fantastic fork lightning and loud thunder

[highcliffe2]

And if I'm not mistaken, looking at the lightning detector, are those some more storms heading towards me?

You lucky we never get anything here accet from the other night I suppose. Tomorrow looks the best bet nationwide I think
