  1. I assume you're also from Thanet then Victor? In the past half hour skies to the south east have definitely darkened, with more convection shooting up also. Fingers crossed.
  2. A cell has just rolled past along the estuary producing regular pink lightning (2 or 3 rumbles a minute). Some stunning cloud structure. Another cell appearing from the west, looking very dark. This looks to be a little more inland..fingers crossed.
  3. Interesting that you say this Nick. Light snow currently falling, and not immediately melting, unlike a few hours ago.
  4. Some snow now blowing around in the air. Very very marginal.
  5. I'm a little concerned about marginality for us coastal areas, but hopefully we'll see snow. Looks to be fairly light on the radar.
  6. We've seen brief - and I mean two to five minute bursts of varying intensity - showers so far this morning. Waiting in anticipation for something more prolonged.
  7. Glad to see there's some comvection firing Thanet way now. The streamers seem to be aligning more ENE. Could yet be some decent snow for far east Kent tonight. More interested in tomorrow though!
  8. Some very light snow showers earlier this evening but nothing since. All the action seems to be 20-30 miles to my west.
  9. Not a lot here really. Went to bed about 2am. Woke up at 6 with the sound of distant thunder. A handful of sheet flashes, one or two rumbles close by but mainly low distant rumbles of thunder every few minutes. Perhaps the low cloud didn't help. Very heavy rain when I woke up. This eased off to steady rain about 7am. It looks like the system stayed out in the channel and lost most of its electrical form in the early hours. You lucky people on the south coast got quite a show!
  10. So often they slip past through the channel, but we must be in for some activity tonight.
  11. I'd think it will be great viewing from then on, Pinball. I might have to set the alarm for about half 7 just so I don't miss the action.
  12. Ok, IMO it's going to make landfall between Galveston and Port Arthur, probably nearer to Port Arthur. You don't seem to be far out. I said TX/LA border about 2 days ago but that was pure guesswork.
