Convective / Storm Discussion - 30th March 2014 onwards

[Convective]

what are the chances of this making it to Ireland??? starved here....

 

Relatively little. But you have plenty of chance this week with good storm potential for much of Ireland all week.

only thing static round here has been me, must get off my butt (filter got me) and do something.

We had thunder and lightning last night just West of Dublin

[Supercell 89]

Nice cell firing up to my north east has done very quickly as well. Thinking it may all kick of just to the east of here later today if it does

[Mapantz]

Sferics showing up...

I should imagine it could get quite lively, right in to the night as well.

[tara303]

just dreaming this will set off a line of super cells, all headed for west limerick!  will be watching, day off work and the weather is looking malevolent out there, Chickens and dogs hiding in the barn. good luck london, moved here from near heathrow 2 years ago - miss planes and storms lol!

Storm brewing over hastings

[NO LONGER POSTING]

Euro4 shows some impressive imports from the near continent later this afternoon and evening for the south east..

[Convective]

Later this evening could actually be quite spectacular for some lucky people!

It think they will stay over the continent personally

Those cells NW of London are very discrete and must look fantastic. Scanning twitter but no photos so far.

This is what gives us our fantastic storms, origin: straight off the continent with no watering down of that ruddy Atlantic! Anywhere with the wind between SSW and ESE seems to deliver proper thunder 'storms'.

Here's to a cracking afternoon and hopefully this week too

[andy989]

Hoping they don't die off before reaching me. I am in the firing line though. Lovely day, warm, bee's are plenty and can hear lawn mowers. A thunderstorm would be a nice end to a nice day.

Has Sat24 frozen for anybody else?

[ChezWeather]

Maybe to far North here, up for a drive South however if anything lasts into the night!

Just watching this rain coming onto the lincs and Norfolk coast, will be interesting to see if this sparks up as there is good insolation here at the moment and feels very muggy!Also, another storm has exploded just south of Northampton! What an afternoon for some! Edited April 21, 2014 by East_England_Stormchaser91

Very unlikely but a storm has popped up me Northampton.

[ChezWeather]

Yep several storms popping up South of Northampton, fingers crossed for later! Im off to nervously listen to the match on the radio!  :winky:

[NO LONGER POSTING]

Night time storm? Fingers crossed

[SnowJoke]

Nice line of storms sitting to the west of mk at the moment, cAn hear the thunder rumbling in the distance

[A.J]

Those storms are developing INVOF a trough tucked in behind waving frontal boundary (weakening warm front), therefore not entirely convergence-driven.  So technically we've got warm sector storms.  Not bad.  

it's interesting that these storms have developed in a 'warm sector' trough as such....as the main area for low level convergence is further south on a line roughly Bristol to kent....indeed, across the channel, some heavy (thundery?) rain has developed along the convergence zone roughly along the aforementioned line...An interesting evening in the offing perhaps for a good swathe of central/southern England (say a WNW to ESE line stretching from the Welsh Marches down to Somerset on the western flank and across to Cambridgshire down to Kent on it's eastern flank)
