    Good night all.
  2. chrisbell-nottheweatherman
    You should have been here earlier - awfully sticky.
  3. chrisbell-nottheweatherman
    Tell me about it Andy!

    Radar seems to be worki - we may be in for something in an hour or two?
  5. chrisbell-nottheweatherman
    That's a radar glitch.
  6. chrisbell-nottheweatherman
    Poor CAPE, lack of buoyancy, stalling cold front... <_<
  7. chrisbell-nottheweatherman
    I think all radar is failing ATM.
  8. chrisbell-nottheweatherman
    The NW radar seems to be misfiring.

    Thanks for the good wishes. I just want some rain to freshen things up a bit.

    That's what I mean, the atmosphere here is so thick you could cut it with a blunt knife, the clouds are lowering, but so far...not a sausage.

    The question, though, was posed a few minutes ago - where are the extreme sferics?
  12. chrisbell-nottheweatherman
    Presumably this way, but will they get here before they fizzle?
  13. chrisbell-nottheweatherman
    Am I dreaming, or is the southern end of the rain swinging slightly east?
  14. chrisbell-nottheweatherman
    Seems as though we're all waiting for something to happen.
  15. chrisbell-nottheweatherman
    Zut alors! :lol:
  16. chrisbell-nottheweatherman
    Clouds here are thickening and lowering a bit... :lol:
  17. chrisbell-nottheweatherman
    Maybe that curl of ppn near you will drift this way?

    Sorry for my absence - been watching the tribute to Henry Allingham. God, what we could have learned from people like him. Clouding up here noticeably, and even more humid-feeling than before.

    Sorry, didn't phrase my question properly - I meant to ask what mechanism would have caused it. I take it to be a shortwave trough rather than a longwave one, as my understanding is that depressions and associated fronts occur around longwave troughs and jetstreaks - so, given that, I assume it is possible to have a shortwave trough ahead of a cold front? It's on in the living room - now going for my dinner so I'll see the Look East forecast.

    Also, earlier, I guessed, incorrectly, that the line of storms running up from Dorset were due to a trough, when they were, in fact, a result of the slowly-advancing cold front. So, where has this trough appeared from???
  21. chrisbell-nottheweatherman
    Seriously - I'm still a dunce by comparison to many people here - they can leave me floundering in terminology all too easily.
  22. chrisbell-nottheweatherman
    Begging yer puddin'.
  23. chrisbell-nottheweatherman
    So much for no more sferics...
  24. chrisbell-nottheweatherman
    Aren't they old ones?
  25. chrisbell-nottheweatherman
    I was like that until VERY recently - now, you could fit my knowledge on a pocket notepad sheet! If you look at your photos, near enough the centre of the storm cloud, there's a bit that looks like a funnel (or a nipple ) hanging down - this suggests rotation in the storm and can spawn a tornado.
