Already seeing a few faint flashes of lightning from just south of Lincoln! Must be from the stuff in Cambridgeshire I guess

Taken from Bracebridge Heath near Lincoln. Amazing structure to this storm, enjoying watching it move towards me putting out regular fork lightning!

Very hot already and not a cloud in the sky in Lincoln, doesn't look like surface heating is going to be an issue in the east! Fingers crossed everything comes together this afternoon to make use of the conditions.

Must be an incredible light show if you're anywhere near those Stoke/Birmingham storms - looking west from near Lincoln I can see faint flickers in the sky, about 70 miles away as the crow flies!

Not a single strike recorded in the whole of Lincolnshire...yet.

Give it an hour or two and there's going to be storms all over the place, the conditions seem to be absolutely perfect for growing storms.

The sun is breaking through a lot earlier than yesterday here at Coningsby. Feels very muggy already too, can only be a good thing for Lincolnshire's chances later on.

There's a chance of it doing anything at this stage.

Here's something to whet the appetite...

Few bits popping up in the channel? I think/hope there's still time for the main event!

Getting closer...

Looking a bit more interesting now...

Looking west from Lincoln, looks like the cap is holding firm, towers going up and then just stopping dead.

Rumbles of thunder now here south of Lincoln.

Rapid development just north east of Uttoxeter!
