keep your eyes on it Gordon, they usually lift and then put new areas down 10 minutes later

 

Yeah they usually renew warnings at ~11am.

the storms over the channel will follow the upper steering winds 500hpa to save confusion....also watch the 300hpa winds because if there's upper shear the anvil tops will be sheared giving the illusion that the storm is moving in a different direction. For Luke (Surrey) watch those discrete cells firing to the west of Brighton, as they're heading for you. 

 

The multicell cluster will track due north and start to then track NNW following the upper flow to make landfall between southampton and bournemouth and track towards Salisbury and then start to turn towards Bristol & SE Wales

I hope youre right but cant see it heading for my location, the winds at that pressure show a different story?

Impressive rainfall rates there! Zooming in does show a noticeable NW movement on it.

Hi Godot

 

Has the appearance of an updraft to me - great pics - what time was this though ? cant see anything on the radar this pm

 

 

It was around 2030hrs yesterday evening. I had a look at the timelapse from a camera at a different location, and the wispy white 'mist' developed very quickly from the ground and moved upwards and laterally(?) in the direction of the clouds. Scud maybe? I'll try and convert it to video and put it on Youtube, though the quality isn't that great.

If you read it, it's unlikely they will be:

 

"Scattered locally heavy showers, with the risk of some slow-moving thundery downpours, are likely this afternoon into this evening. Although the heavy showers should slowly die out this evening they may well continue in parts of southwest England into Thursday night.The public should be aware of the risk of localised flooding.This warning has been updated to remove the warning from southeastern areas where showers are less likely to have any impacts"

Just had a very brief shower in London falling from largely stratified undulatus clouds - really large convective style rain drops too!

 

Re the removal of the warning from the MetO, hoping it has been removed as any flash flooding risk will have been reduced from the less than expected rainfall last night...here's hoping anyway :D
