Convective / Storm Discussion - 27th July 2013
rosgar replied to Coast's topic in Storms & Severe Weather
Ironically, here in the Wrexham area it has been raining for around 6 hours, torrential for the last 3 hours, with a fair rivulet running down our hill which may well flood houses further down, yet we are not even in any of the warning areas, despite clear radar indication that we would get a fair share of downpours. Maybe it's because of the lack of thunder activity, either expected or received (we never usually do anyway, one thunderstorm in 4 years)? Still warranted a warning! -
Wales (Cymru) Regional Discussion 11th March 2013

Well over a foot ( one sheltered point in the back where it stuck first is 15 inches) here in Chirk, and still it falls. Worryingly the lights keep flickering, so looks like we may lose power soon. In addition one or two large conifers are making some evil noises, a couple of branches have already snapped off with the weight, but one tree in particular is worrying us, and it's big... -

Here in Chirk at 130m currently rain with maybe a sleety flake or two. Temperature is 2c, not sure about dewpoint but Shawbury and Hawarden both show 1c? Virtually no wind here either. -
Oh, and Blackpool now reporting gusts to 51mph.....

No on a S westerly the wind follows the contours of the Ceiriog and the Dee valleys, giving North Shropshire a good blow before heading toward Ellesmere... Capel Curig is a good 70 miles West.

75mph at Capel Curig, 66mph at Lake Vyrnwy, stormy here in Chirk. Looks like North Wales gets first knock at the door!! -
Seems to have died out here as quickly as it appeared, maybe a dozen visible distant flashes, now can see the stars again. Oh well that's another storm to miss us, none at all overhead this year!!! Manchester routed airplanes now flying over us as well, but just noticed another faint flash to the East of us, maybe Crewe next?

Thunder in Chirk now.

5 Miles WNW of Oswestry, went very dark around 30 mins ago but it's lifted since. Maybe over the mountains it could brew up later.

Falling - and sticking - well here in the North. Still only moderate but a couple of cm so far. Looking good for a fair bit by morning according to the radar. -
Excellent analysis there, without any drama. A pleasure to read

Had a good fall of snow here in Chirk, just dying out now after 8 hours of snow. Around 10+" where the wind left it be.
