Convective / Storm Discussion - 4th October onwards 2013

[paul m]

Seriously doubt there is anything heading this way. Someone unplug the yorks shield please.

[Cloud 10]

rapid development of storms now coming ashore in Dorset....looks like AJ might yet get his first bang for ages (double entendres rule!....lol)

 

 

hmm....on second thoughts, just gave the other half that 'knowing' look and got my 'not a chance' look back....that'll be the double entendre out of the window then!

 

Plenty of action outside your window looking at the latest radar. 

 

Actually looks pretty stormy here at the moment.

Holy crapola! 155mm/hr rain rate, it is sizeway, complete whiteout! Frequent lightning, i've waited 8 years for this!!  

 

 4.6mm has fallen in 7 minutes!

Will these storms dissipate overnight or pep up? I guess anything is possible after Sunday morning's cracking thunderstorm here

[Love Snow]

Just like Sunday i doubt we will get anything

[South coaster]

Can see an anvil to my SW, hopefully get a good light show later on maybe

As it stands, that stream of storms hitting Dorset looks like it's got both Cambridgeshire and Lincolnshires names on it! Here's hoping for what would be a very balmy scenario for us at this time of year !!

Damn sight better than mine I would have thought. Clear blue sky here. Shield on maximum!

[paul m]

Looks to have cleared Poole very quickly if the webcam is anything to go by

[Mapantz]

Something has been hit by lightning around here somewhere, fire engines have gone out.  

[TropicThunder]

Just saw three flashes of lightning in fairly quick succession off to the west, too far away to hear the thunder though. Sky looks really stormy!

[TheToastPeople]

I think its time i move to the south coast lmao

[East_England_Stormchaser91]

Looks like you south coasters are in for a right treat. Plenty more bouts of thundery streamers organising themselves over NW France and the bay of Biscay. Unbelievable action for October, I guess laws of the average are taking their toll for the poor summer convection. Justice at last!

[A.J]

Plenty of action outside your window looking at the latest radar. 

 

Actually looks pretty stormy here at the moment.

sadly the poole/bournemouth clump will slide away to my east.....heavy showers to my west and south west, anvils dominating that part of the sky, but the worst of these will slide to my west.....just waiting to see what further developments there are this evening/overnight....pretty confident of seeing some distant lightning if nothing else

[Convective]

Things bubbling up south of here finally, by the looks of the latest radar image.

[Dorset Weather]

Just watched the Poole cell skirt by me, lots of frequent fork lightning and distant rumbling, looked to have lots or rotation about too with scud moving in all directions and various speeds.

More to come by the looks of the radar, could be an interesting evening :-)

[TropicThunder]

Wow, the sky looks incredible, almost looks like a US supercell, with increasingly frequent lightning. Still haven't heard any thunder though.

[Guest William Grimsley]

I was thinking about you, Mapantz.

[Supacell]

That storm on the south coast looks awesome. I've my fingers crossed for something tonight.

[djpaulbailey]

HOLY MOLY!!!!!! WHAT A STORM!!!! Frequent CG IC HAIL and a WHITE OUT!!! Loads of rotation too!! Got some video.....i think!! Got absolutely soaked just opening the door!!!! AMAZING!!!! 

[Southern Storm]

Wow wasn't expecting this, cells passing west of here, lots of lightning! And it already getting dark

Should make for an interesting evening

Summer storms are so overrated lol
