glad you did not miss out supercell.  One this morning although few storms it was the only thing which lit up here.  Like Scott strange clouds but some impressive cloud formations here.

Could there been drain there.  Can only think there was small rotation otherwise did feel wind.

Yes there is a drain there but couldn't tackle all the rain that just fell + all the water was running off a bank on the other side of the road.

I was hoping to see a storm today but wasn't expecting anything quite of that intensity. Looking back at the radar I think I was quite lucky as Abbots Bromley looked to be in the core of the northern cell (there was another one further south closer to Birmingham). Did you get the hail and rain?

 

Yes the northern one was pretty much a direct hit here, the southern one slipped to the south and west. It was a nice little storm, the rain was very intense for about 10 minutes as the core passed over. Hasn't rained like that for a while, not since El Brumo - although that was an entirely different kettle of storm. Some of the CG and Fork lightning as it head over towards Cannock was mighty impressive.

some great pics of clouds and I missed out on all the fun   Oh well good night all, I fear tomorrow will be most boring weather wise.

Its a 3 minute walk to the pub, dry when I walked out of the door, suddenly the heavens opened up, I was drenched! Proper torrential downpour, roads like rivers etc.. Looked at the radar, nothing more than moderate echo's .. The radar can be very deceiving.

Posted from the pub, looking like I fell in the river. :

Here's the culprit..

There was some good convection here before the cruddy rain arrived. Once them parcels started to rise, there was no stopping them!

[Supacell]

A video freeze frame of the best bolt of yesterday's chase. Unfortunately I was pretty much stuck inside the car due to the intensity of the rain, going out in it would have just meant a destroyed camcorder:

 

[Cloud 10]

Was woken up in the early hours by a rumble of thunder just to my north.

 

 

Had some further heavy showers already this morning and i'm pleased to say that the

low cloud/drizzle and murk has finally cleared away.  

 

 

[William Grimsley]

I'm pretty sure there isn't a thunderstorm to the W of me.

[shaky]

Tomorrow looks pretty tasty on the euro4!!showers/thunderstorms break out anywhere across england lasting well into the evening and temperature s close to 20 degrees especially in the east of England!!

[Speedway Slider]

What's the conveactive outlook for today and tomorrow across the central & east Midlands like? When are we next at risk from heavy/thundery rain/possible thunderstorms?

Cheers

There been some quite lively showers up here (a few strikes on radar) today could be quite interesting me thinks

[Darren Bown]

Black to my east, first rash of showers heading north, seems a good chance for me later today, but this has been the same for a lot of the week!

[Gordon Webb]

met office seem to have more persistant rain moving in from the east from tuesday onwards according to their forecast on the website warnings already issued for some eastern areas

 

edit - just saw latest news 24 forecast they have showers moving north tomorrow looked more concerntrated on the eastern side of the country but some going through central parts they also seem to indicate pretty cloudy as well

 

getting warmer for the se tomorrow but pretty much the same elsewhere

 

must admit getting a bit fed up with this pattern

Not convinced myself, warm maybe some showers but I'd be surprised if there was much electrical activity. As ever would love to be wrong

Amazing gust front just moved in here with a rumble of thunder

[NUT]

Showers have been looking rather tasty all morning got to say. Got another burst coming through now

[Greeny]

Nice! I like seeing a good gust front, do you have any pictures?

[Costa Del Fal]

I would hope if there is anywhere most likely to see something thundery today its down here! Sea/wind convergence here setting up a stationary line of showers. Some threatening skies around and already had some heavy rain so will be interesting to see if anything more occurs.

[SnowJoke]

Looks very quiet at the minute in western europe, however to the east it's going nuts, storms in nearly every eastern country. Down in MK today it's lovely and sunny with a temp of 16'c and rising, if it wasn't so windy i'd be tempted to bust the bbq out later.
