Stormyking

Right even though the Isle of Wight is in the risk, I think me and my friend are on about drivng Eastwards towards the Brighton/Hastings area as we don't wana take any risks, unless any of the more Knowledgeable guys thinks we should stay put anyways!

You never know mate, that would be a pretty decent birthday present eh. Ive got everything crossed!

I like this And I like Estofex too

It hasn't been tracking further and further east, if anything its been the same position for the last 4/5 runs, Looks as though a wave of Elevated Showers/Storms reaches the South Coast and South East coast in the Evening, Anywhere from the Isle of Wight Eastwards. Then the MCS area then moves up across the same areas, though where I am for the 2nd wave maybe a little too far west, but from Bognor Regis. I really dont think this is just a Kent clipper and in my opinion from what iv'e been seeing the majority of the South East is in with a very decent shout of seeing something. Still time for things to change with 24 hours to get even!

Im in one of those situations at the moment whether I stay on the Isle of Wight due to the fact this risk is extremely close and could so easily be a sweet spot, or do me and my friend book a ferry and drive a bit further East, its so frustrating!

Wooo we finally got a proper storm between 5pm and 5:45pm, had bowls towards the North of the island, this cell developed which started popping out a few CGS, and then drove right under it, thunder was proper loud, and quite frequent too Proper over the moon!

Well hello there Mr Cumulus, breaking threw that cap rapidly, Cowes under a torrential shower, and stuff developing in the solent too

Nice interesting day an dit was nice not to miss out on some of todayts fun had 2 incredible torrential downpurs which was awesome, and at about 3:30- 4pm, The line that developed over the South coast, was a nice one tod, while the heaviest didnt quite reach I heard 4-5 cracks and rumbles of thunder Finally off 6 thunder days

Hugeeee Cumulus going up towards my North and North West which is on our track, bembridge currently under a heavy shower

Here you go guys, from earlobes downpour, only phone quality mind so apologise IMG_7241.MOV IMG_7242.MOV

It was mad, the heaviest part crossed directly over my head, shanklin got it bad too

Jeeeez that was torrential, got a video of the shower we just had, gonna try and upload it

Beautiful little cell just of to my east coast, stuck right in the little convergencse zone and not barely moving, got a few piccies from the seafront

I love this, quality picture mate! Been surprisingly a really quiet first half to the year down here on the Isle of Wight, the type of conditions and wind directions and other elements just haven't been right for these parts. However im not gonna as I know we have had our fair share over the years. And there is a long long way to go yet! Really happy for those who are having a good year this year, even though im still jealous, I love tracking it all and enjoy reading all the reports

Couple of showers have passed threw here of late, some really heavy ones over west wight too

See its kicked off nicely just North of Bristol, and of coarse the area that was most expected furtehr North, jealous of you guys! Have fun regardless!

To me the stuff coming up tonght and tomorrow, doesn't look that convective, especially by the time it reaches the South West Coast, best chance for storms tomorrow looks to be further North!

In my opinion give it until around 9pm, light starts fading, and nocturnal cloud top cooling starts kicking and in my opinion this definitely givees things a boost, so dont be surpised if showers/storm fire up towards dark!

As I said too William in my last post, im taking this with a pinch of salt, I know there are alot more ingredients you need, ive checked all other things like MUCAPE , its okay but still time for improvements, wind shear could be quite important though i haven't that yet. id rather be chasing the mainland stuff to be fair

The charts before didnt look that great for Monday morning, so I understood AJ's post as to why so was kinda with him on that one im afraid mate, but the latest run increases the potential for sure but im gonna take it with a pinch of salt as we have been here before and it ends in tears, still a few days away

Latest 12z has got my interest suddenly for Sunday night into Monday, an area of Elevated showers/ storms develop in the channel and push up from the South East, its only 1 run but theres been a bit of a trend on something being picked up, still early days. Wasn't that interested in monday morning before but confidence has gone up a touch, reminds me a little of June 2013 As for the rest of the uk its looking like an interesting few days coming up

Boom what a guess, has literally just gone off

Cell to the South West of Bristol is about to start firing any minute i reckon, looks insane on the radar!

Its cool dude, thing with this Evening, theres better inhibiton and the wind shear improves too, thats why i think if any storms/showers go up then will be better organised and individual rather than scattered and messy.

I was stating in general not just for the island, I didnt even mention the my area o.O I actually do mate, i think the island is in a decent spot, especially this evening when nocturnal cloud top cooling kicks in
