I’m the same! It’s very touch and ago across the whole midlands. Interestingly, it appears I’m under a convergence zone already, as low level muck was previously heading N to S, but it has now almost stopped, and can even see SW-NE movement of it now as the sun is coming out.
itll be another radar watching game for now. I’d position close to the A14, then that gives you wide options of chase routes, such as the A6, A38 and the M6 etc.
Yeah I think radar watch is the next best thing to be honest and just take it as it comes. Thinking A14 too have those options to head in a few different routes.
im just north of Cheltenham now on the M5 so not far off

Feel free to come setup camp oustide mine!
Cheers buddy where are you too?
mill be heading back overnight as we are looking good for storms potentially in the SW tomorrow though it’s still touch and go whether they will fire up as nothing really does in the SW hence why I come up now haha.

May head out for a storm chase today. Probably head into the midlands again. Expecting maybe a few storms like yesterday to breed up to the S/SW of me and head NW into the East Midlands. I’ll be onto them if they do!
I’m out today heading up from Plymouth, Devon again. Looking maybe hit in between Leicester and Coventry and track NW but then I’m wondering to stay West of midlands just incase and intercept if anything fires up into wales and north wales though having the chance to push east if storms fire up East of Midlands.
Heads frazzled as to target what you thinking?

Morning All, Hard one to determine wheres at most risk. I mean if i'm looking at it correctly id say Peterborough then NW from there right? Had another day off today so was looking at jumping in the car for another roadtrip but not sure where to head. Though if i did go id have to leave in the next couple hours but any advice welcome haha.

Question is was it or was it not?? Not far I’d say southwest of Stafford, midlands area.
Live video of it on go to 14 minutes in and watch - NOTE PLEASE BE WARNED BAD LANGUAGE CAN BE HEARED FROM MYSELF IN THIS PART OF THE VIDEO

Given the cloud here in Plymouth probably for the best. Shame it could have been promising!
Agreed to dull here for anything that rain.

Jesus, fair play I hope it works out for you
Issue is you wait any longer and any storms will probably develop before you get there.
I'm leaving in the next 20 i think sod it. Small convection just to east of Exeter so see what happens.

All the way from Plymouth?
Unless i stay put in Devon more and wait to see if anything fires up but will be showers no doubt and getting fed up on rain chasing haha

My current thoughts are I will refrain from heading north today and instead head south/southwest towards the SW Midlands. Maybe somewhere to the south of Brum would be well placed for about 5-6pm
I'm with you on that! Going to head to Gloucester as mentioned i think.

tony from ukww has updated his forecast with this:
"UPDATE 1pm Sat
As per earlier forecast with following comments;
There is a slight risk of tornadoes for Dorset through to S Wales 14z-23z.
A secondary surface low is forecast to now develop just east of the primary Closed low core. This circulation looks to increase surface moisture advection toward the NW. In fact models predict almost 100% humidity values SW.
Moderate DLS with fairly acute directional LLS in place. A dewpoint depression potentially lowers LCL to just 1,000 ft. This will be optimum for vorticity to be ingested into any updraft. Any CIN over Wales looks to rapidly weaken leaving a non capped environment.
Any storm developing in the said location should exhibit low level rotation with the chance of a tornado or two. Based on the WRF forecast accents can't rule out a weak supercell developing!"When you say SW you mean SW Eng?

This seems interesting...

Cu been bubbling up here since 10, no overdevelopment. At least if you get to Gloucester you can zoom up the M5/6 or cut across the A419 towards the M4
Thats exactly what i was thinking but can i justify the drive for a few cloud formations and rain chasing haha.

Just now, Flash bang flash bang etc said:
West seems to be mentioned a lot. Draw a line up the spine of the UK and west of that it’s moderate, low risk to the east
west is best
east is lol
urgggggg i have no hair left im getting stressed just debating where i need to be haha

I looked at Dan's & Nick's forecasts... hmm. Any cumulus here is towering sideways and the air feels fairly dry. I don't really think the SE is on for anything. My take is activity in the west country today and evening. Enjoy it down there!
Dont say that as i'm planning to head north to Gloucester haha
Storms and convective discussion - 18th June 2020 onwards
in Storms & Severe Weather
Posted
Few captures from yesterday’s chase (31st July 2020) between two counties Nottinghamshire & Lincolnshire.
Day started off setting off from Plymouth (Hometown) potentially heading into Kent for developments pushing up from France but my gut told me to hang off with an opportunity in pushing North.
Hanged About in Cambridgeshire which looked to be a good half way point to both ends but given convection was starting to fire up towers I made the crucial call and go with what I thought best pushing north into Leicestershire when we was welcomed by storms firing up all around.
Ended with an amazing sunset!!
May think I’m nuts coming all that way but I love roadtripping and so do my two sons. Going to suffer in work tonight I’m nackered.
