Here's a brand new thread for Autumn onwards and there's even a little potential for something tomorrow folks. . DISCUSSION British Isles, France A warm and moist maritime air mass is situated across the Atlantic west of the Bay of Biscay. This air mass is convectively mixed and is advected north-eastwards ahead of the approaching trough. Along the axis of warm air, a well-developed low-level trough is present and will move into France and the British Isles. At the surface, backing low-level winds are indicated by latest GFS model across southern France and the British Isles, leading to low-level convergence. A weak mid-level trough will also lead to some QG forcing. Daytime heating will result in weak instability across France. Instability over the British Isles is questionable, but elevated CAPE is likely given the well-mixed air mass. Given the lift along the trough axis and low-level convergence, at lead weak CAPE is likely. Together with CAPE and forcing, low-level vertical wind shear is expected to be around 10 m/s in the lowest km and low-level hodographs are rather large across the British Isles. Current thinking is that tornadoes can develop in this environment. Given the weak instability, chance of tornadoes seems to be too low for a level 1 forecast. Stronger storms may also produce excessive precipitation. Otherwise, severe storms are not expected across the Birtish Isles and France. http://www.estofex.org/

Has anybody ever experienced this weather Phenomena at all.? I know I haven't had the pleasure, maybe one day eh! Thundersnow, also known as a winter thunderstorm or a thunder snowstorm, is a relatively rare kind of thunderstorm with snow falling as the primary precipitation instead of rain. It typically falls in regions of strong upward motion within the cold sector of an extratropical cyclone. Thermodynamically, it is not different from any other type of thunderstorms but the top of the cumulonimbus are usually quite low. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thundersnow Typically, a thundersnow event occurs with the majority meteorological recipe coming from a thunderstorm forming over a body of water. When the colder air from a normal winter front collides with the warmer air over the water--you're likely to get heavy snow and thunder clapping concurrently. But it isn't just that cut and dry and harmless. All the variations involved in thundersnow make it frequently dangerous if you're caught out outdoors when it happens. Some of the examples of what thundersnow can do based on recorded bizarre weather events in history: When thundersnow happened, strangely, in New Mexico once during the late 90's--a ski lift at a ski resort was hit by lightning and heavily damaged. In one of the interesting variations--snow fell as ice pellets. These ice pellets are frequently are larger than typical hail...hence causing more injury if you happen to be outdoors with no undercover areas within sight. Buffalo, NY (during one of their massive snowstorms in 2006) reported a heavy thundersnow event that went on for hours. It's said that it's one of the longest reported thundersnow events in weather-recording history. People reported heavy snow falling with heavy claps of thunder and lightning strikes all through the night and day. This seems to give the indication that thundersnow can turn into a circular and prolonged storm if the conditions are just right. Please discuss:

A double strike of lightning just to the right of our vehicle as the most dominant storm in the area approached from ahead. This was taken just outside the town of Floydada in Texas where we pulled over in a lay-by and let the storm pass over us.© Weather Studios
