A SURFACE TROUGH OF LOW PRESSURE ACCOMPANIED BY CLOUDINESS AND SHOWERS HAS MOVED INTO THE NORTHEASTERN GULF OF MEXICO. LITTLE MOTION IS ANTICIPATED TODAY OR SUNDAY...AND ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS APPEAR TO BE FAVORABLE FOR DEVELOPMENT DURING THE NEXT DAY OR TWO. IF NECESSARY...A RECONNAISSANCE PLANE WILL INVESTIGATE THE AREA ON SUNDAY. http://www.nhc.noaa.gov/gtwo_atl.shtml

Im looking to possible development from the wave just of the coast of Africa. With regards to arthur i believe if it does exit into the BoC then we will have a strong T.S or maybe even Cat.1

Great Pictures - shame about the size though. Maybe its just me but picture 6 looks like it might just have had a funnel developing to the westside of the storm.

Seriously is lightning that rare were you are that you could guess it being nearly two year ago?? Presumably that was the last time you had a decent storm?? :lol:

Well i only heard the one realy loud rumble, i think i might of heard a few distant rumbles, but there was a lot of noise from traffic and stuff so it was hard to tell, added to that the wind was blowing a easterly - i was south of the storm. I can say though it braught torrential rain and hail.

Thanks

You realy think so? :lol:

Pictures taken on a cam phone which is a pitty because this was an impressive looking storm. Just after 3pm today an impressive storm crossed about 8 miles to the north of me. Here is the view just my east from were i was standing in the first photo... The Gust front trailed for a fare distant west... The next are looking North and North East and showing the front and its curvature..

Ahh i see :blink: . I only said that because i thought the curvature of the clouds above the gust front indicated that the main cloud might have been rotating - thus indicating the presence of a supercell. But regardless of what type it was, it certainly was an impressive looking storm and those pictures on that link are excellent - i think the mammatus was pretty.

Ello, Quality picture.. but the what i find intreguing is the clearly visable curvature of the cloud just above the shelf prooving this to be a supercell, i got to ask you, by any chance did this baby spawn any tornadoes?

Has anybody noticed that the metoffice have named Southampton as the warmest place in the UK on the 9th of April. This is odd as to the best of my knowledge the southampton recording stations stoped being used in the late 90's as did the Southsea one. Does anybody know what is going on? Is the southampton station being used again. http://www.metoffice.gov.uk/weather/uk/uk_...st_weather.html

Certainly.. im still getting used to finding my way around the forum. But i think i know how to go about adding my location.

Hi im kinda new here and thought id just say hi. My name is Ian Iv always been fascinated by the weather. I like T.Storms, snow, hot & humid, cold & frosty, Torrential rain, well basicaly anything other then boring drizzle

Lightning can be seen from over a hunderd miles away yet thunder can only be heard from 20 miles. I might be wrong with the miles and it could be Kilometers its been a while .
