  1. The storm risk may expand a bit further north tomorrow and so I'm contemplating getting out for my first chase of the year. If I see a storm it'll be the first time I've seen and chased a storm in March throughout my 20 years of storm chasing. Although the speed of them may suggest "chasing" would be impossible. It'll be a case of getting in the right place at the right time.
  2. It's March so not expecting MCS's and spectacular electrical displays but some prospects for thunderstorms/thundery showers over the next few days. Tomorrow looks to be western areas mainly. From Thursday onwards the risk probably more widespread. I know we really don't need any more rain but still nice to see thundery weather in the forecast.
  3. marksp Same in Belper. You can have sleet and wet snow not settling in the centre of town but then a short drive (or even walk) away can have deep snow. I think that may be the scenario tomorrow.
  4. I may be in with a chance of some snow on Thursday looking at the many models and forecasts. All of them show snow over Derbyshire for a time on Thursday. As others have said, it's a pity it won't last though. The Peak District and places such as Buxton look in for a dumping. Forecast for Belper. Will probably show rain in a few hours though.
  5. Please can we keep the posts respectable to one another. Personal remarks and attacks are not acceptable on this forum. This is a weather forum, we're all here for our interest in weather. This is not the local pub on a Saturday night.
  6. A tree blowing through someone's window at night is much less likely than being hit by debris whilst walking outside or driving to work. So the risk of impacts is higher in the day when more people are out and about than at night when most are inside their houses. However, there is still a risk of impacts, hence the widespread wind warnings across the UK.
  7. A rough night ahead for many in what has been a rough season. To have 70mph wind gusts forecast for here is a rarity and for such a long period of time is even more rare. 90mph + winds are a rarity anywhere in the UK aside from on top of a mountain. Storm Pia was around 60mph I think in these parts and that felled numerous trees, knocked roof tiles off houses, including in the centre of town, and caused a lot of disruption across the county. To think this could be 10mph more! Granted there are other things to take into account, for example the ground was sodden. I read someone's post (I think on here) that pointed out that wind speed related to the likelihood of damage is logarithmic. The increase of force on a structure caused by a wind of 70mph as opposed to 60mph is greater than the increase of force caused by 60mph as opposed to 50mph and so on. I am not clever enough to work out exactly by how much but there is a calculation out there.
  8. Just an icing sugar dusting here in the end. Looks like the band has shifted north now so not expecting much more here, at least not today.
  9. It's reached Belper. Opened the curtains to a moderate fall of snow and it's not struggling to settle on the frozen ground (-1⁰c outside). Not expecting much around here but even this is more than I expected
  10. May aswell take this opportunity to plug my YouTube channel dedicated to storm chasing. A lot of videos on here taken from my past 9 years of storm chasing. I will have been chasing for 20 years this year with my first video being taken in August 2004. A time where I had no internet on the move and relied on interference on an AM radio to detect lightning . It's strange thinking back to those days and how much harder it was to chase storms. https://youtube.com/@supacellstormchasing I'm looking forward to April onwards. Hopefully will be getting lots more footage for my channel.
  11. Netweather storm forecast from Nick Finnis showing a similar thing. Severe Convective Weather & Storms Forecast - Netweather.tv WWW.NETWEATHER.TV
  12. A sleet/rain mix for the last few hours and snow is slowly thawing. Can hear the dreaded drip drip sound. This is in the centre of town though, not sure what it's like in the higher parts of Belper.
  13. Bit of a dumping overnight. About 7-10cm and all the minor roads around the town are bad. Saw a number of stranded cars.
  14. Locking this thread now. Please continue discussions for November convective weather in here: https://community.netweather.tv/topic/99492-storms-and-convective-discussion-november-2023/
