Some of those strikes were a little to close for comfort, seems like it has calmed down abit as it went over the M25/M1 Junction.

Just spotted a CG to my SSE.

[Arnie Pie]

The radar is suggesting that there is a convergence zone setting up to the NW of Wolvo around the Penkridge area

Could be worth keeping an eye on

Definite convergence and back building.

Storms moving at crawling speed.

We could be about to cop A LOT of rain.

Flash flooding?

[TJS1998Tom]

What are peoples thoughts for us Lincoln peeps? Just been overcast all day but forecast does suggests heavy showers later in the night, I'm assuming as cooling occurs, pulse storms seems to be popping up a bit now elsewhere

Sure is mate..and again...

Hilarious looking at the radar at storms approaching us. They’re like planes avoiding a storm, first to the south west, now all to the east. Any storms approaching from the south literally dissolve as they get close. Need an expert to explain why.

Nice. I’m not allowed any decent action just because I got lucky visiting my folks the weekend of the Bournemouth mega storm in 2015

[The PIT]

First rumble sof thunder here from showers to the east. Just light rain here hopefully the cell buildin gto the south will hit us. Most split or fade away though. Nice to hear the odd rumble.
