  1. The large FedEx Distribution Centre next to the Kalamazoo/Battle Creek Itnl Airport took a direct hit from the last reported Tornado.
  2. The cell developing near the city of Kalamazoo is particularly concerning, with a population of 72,873 now within the Tornado Warning.
  3. Looks like convergence winds is what's needed to kick off any storms for today, the current cells lining up nicely with what the xcweather obs is showing.
  4. SPC has upgraded today to a HIGH RISK in the areas of Wichita, Wichita Falls, Enid, Elk City, Tulsa, and Oklahoma City. The last HIGH RISK area was last issued on the 31 March 2023. NOAA/NWS Storm Prediction Center WWW.SPC.NOAA.GOV
  5. The cap looks to be stubborn in burning off when compared to the UKV model which was showing thundery showers that should have developed from 10am, so far aside from a few light convective showers across the Pennines there isn't much going on for now. Hopefully some topographic lifting or convergence will kick things off now we're at peak daytime heating.
  6. Deceptively clear skies here in Whaley this morning although the forecast is for a few thundery showers from midday onwards to 6pm, the heaviest crossing the spine of the Pennines but almost anywhere could crop a storm or two today.
  7. A max temperature of 17.5'c (so far) today near Buxton and it's turning out to be better than what this morning's MWIS forecast was predicting, a bit more cloud has developed since midday but it's still pleasantly mild when the sun makes a re-appearance. Just been for a short stroll around Whaley Moor and the local Bluebell Woodlands to make the best of it and to test out a new Canon EF-M lens for the M50ii.
  8. A updated on the family that Freddy McKinney rescued... having a niece and nephew it hits home a little harder when there's children injured
  9. Same storm going back NorthWest, just caught onto Reed's stream when they were on the outer edge and picking up the two folks hiding in the ditch.
  10. Sprites I was kind of expecting it reading the Brize Norton, LGW, Southampton METARs, but the further down south I was driving the further back north i'd had to get afterwards if things had been just 20 miles a bit north then i'd have been in the early model-run forecast before things went more westwards on the 18Z. At least there was something to see and I got good miles on the i10 clocking just under half a tank for a 330'ish mile round trip compared to the Ford KA it was less-stressing not having to worry about fuelling up.
  11. Sprites No direct lightning bolts from where I was although there was a belter of a positive strike that had a well-defined Sprite jump out ahead of it in the clearer skies overhead. I did re-position down to Didcot for a closer view but the low cloud-base and early twilight made things difficult to see before 'calling it' a night at 4:30am. The Aurora was earlier than predicted yesterday evening, peaking at around 8am and it's that time of year when astronomy spotting/photography gets increasingly more difficult until mid-September, although we do have the NLC season about to begin which i'm hoping is still amplified due to the Hunga Tonga–Hunga Haʻapai eruption of 2022.
  12. Thundery rain now is beginning to make it's way inland off the Norfolk coast this early morning although an average of only 4 strikes per minute are being picked up on the real-time lightning map. With persistent cloud-cover set to limit visibility all day it doesn't look to be anything noteworthy except for anyone on the East Coast that will be directly underneath the heavier cores.
  13. Funnel Cloud reported near Abilene, TX
