 In all I feel today may not be as good as yesterday with less instability forecast and cloud cover may inhibit things.

 

 

You mention cloud cover inhibiting things however the sun is out brightly in West Wiltshire after earlier showers, yesterday the sun didn't break through until around 14.00!

 

An unstable sky with all manner of  Altocumulus types drifting SE-NW.

That is a very good sign then. The recent satellite shows more cloud across the east with some rain into East Anglia but this will not really affect most of the risk area further west. GFS did seem to underestimate instability yesterday so the same may be true of today. There seems good agreement across the models though for the highest risk to be late morning to mid afternoon - so earlier than yesterday in all respects.

 

Already showers to your east, through Hampshire.

Good morning all.

Had a good storm roll past my girl friends yesterday with a very close strike, only few hundred meters away, hitting roof of bp garage.

Today I have day off and her car so anyone fancy making a call on where I should head.

Got to be back in Christchurch, dorset for the school run but that gives me 5 1/2hrs.

 

If it was you where would you go

I wont blame you if nothing happens :)

 

Cheers Dave

No sunshine here as I've been stuck under, or close to that shower activity in the south west. 4mm fell quite quickly. Dry at the moment but the clouds look ominous, completely still outside too.

Good luck to those who have sunshine, and are in areas forecasted to get the showers. :)

Looks like some breaks in the cloud could be heading this way..

Have no mobile internet but taking laptop so can find wifi spots and will update if pos and hope I get some good pics / vid

Due South of the M4 corridor East of Reading looks good right now, showers are invariably travelling East to West over the downs right now I say, judging by the radar.

Those showers have a very slight Northward push on them..

 

Agreed they are progressing WNWNWNNWNW'wards every so slowly, so not exactly due Westwards. :rofl:

Yep, West Berkshire, North Hampshire and into parts of Wiltshire by noon to 12.30pm would be a good call if they still hold together. They are also continually back-building I think. Could be another impressive day for rainfall totals as they aren't budging fast.

Black sky to the south of here in Egham but haven't heard or seen anything yet. They're just a tad too far south. They need to move NWwards rather than Wwards.
