  1. It was around 2030hrs yesterday evening. I had a look at the timelapse from a camera at a different location, and the wispy white 'mist' developed very quickly from the ground and moved upwards and laterally(?) in the direction of the clouds. Scud maybe? I'll try and convert it to video and put it on Youtube, though the quality isn't that great.
  2. Some very dramatic skies to the East of me earlier this evening. Was this a wall cloud? The white wispy stuff appeared for a few minutes or so. Will have to check the time-lapse cam!
  3. Ah, I think I may now know exactly when this ancient home video of mine was shot! I vaguely remember it being after Xmas that year. I also remember it started melting rather quickly when morning came, which would suggest it was a marginal setup as a previous poster suggested.
  4. I didn't expect to be posting in a convective thread again this year, but things are certainly looking interesting going into tomorrow. Just read a Fergietweet saying the UKMO hail modeling indicates possible 10-15mm hail.
  5. I'm coming in a bit late on all this, but on Friday I was saying to my dad that I couldn't wait to see how the Daily Express would cover this and whether they'd do a headline with the traditional '(weather) TO (verb) BRITAIN!' template. Then today I saw Saturday's front page - http://www.express.co.uk/ourpaper/view/2011-09-10
  6. Just seen two lightning strikes from the cell to my N/NE! It's been slowly intensifying, so heads up anyone in it's path.
  7. Excellent, all working fine again thanks.
  8. The GFES ensembles are stuck on yesterday's 18z. Can someone give them a hefty kick?
  9. Latest tweets from Ian Fergusson aren't optimistic :
  10. Oo, nice one. I've always hoped more UK people/organizations would start doing stuff like this.
  11. Incredibly dark here, rain falling and cloud/scud moving very fast indeed. This one needs watching!
  12. GEFS have also been stuck for me since June 5th 18z. Can someone give it a kick?
  13. Ah, that'll almost certainly be from the same cell I was just watching to the N/NE of me (as is Taunton). I saw one bolt of lightning from it although I wasn't watching until about 30 minutes ago. A good omen for others hopefully.
  14. Here are the four shots of lightning here in Somerset I've got so far this evening : http://flic.kr/s/aHsjuuZHVR One of them has to be the longest bit of lightning I've seen!
  15. Just came in from a fairly decent storm. Decent enough for a couple of lightning pics anyway. Lightning was mostly towards my south/southwest. I had to come in because the rain is torrential and lightning obscured by rain, but it's still rumbling on outside now.
