Spanish plume anyone? Storm and convective discussion 17th July Onwards

[10 Days Away]

Looks like Kent is in for two days in a row of clobbering, with three storms in the space of 18-24 hours. Damn Kent. 

Have my doubts those cells over France will make it today.  Seems like they are becoming less active as well.

Sparky anything from Swindon would be great j dunno where head out in car lol

[Mokidugway]

On sat 24 ,stuff springing up all over ,could still be hope ,suns out now !!....

[SnowJoke]

As the storm rumbles its' way towards Chesterfield I have to ask myself what the chances might be of that cell near Swindon making its way all the way north to here?

The answer has to be 'vanishingly small', at least in its current state, so I think that might be it for today .

 

It's a super cell and moving ENE, current track if it can sustain itself and move in to the stronger sheared environment it will move through Oxford, Bicester, Buckingham, Milton Keynes and Bedord before heading into Cambridgeshire if it can live that long and is Cyclic in nature.

Same, another thing I noted was the capped off look to the showers this afternoon, they decayed very quickly. Doesn't look as promising as yesterday

[The PIT]

Beginning to push to the east side of Sheffield so just a swipe here unless it jigs west again. Most the lightning high up so only slightly visible.

[Polar Maritime]

Just clipped the edge of edge of it here, Plenty of strikes all around and 2 directly over me.

Correlating the sat24 radar with what i'm seeing outside, I can actually see the tops of that CB expansion above Swinton all the way from here.

[MP-R]

Cell packing a punch over Exmoor way, no doubt this one will now slip to my west!

[The PIT]

Nearly finished now whether it can build up a bit more is another question.

[richjb78]

Gone very dark...hopefully this can produce...

Just taken this pic of a lovely formation looking out over at Exeter/Dartmoor way, from paignton. Petrified of storms but the beauty of these formations is humbling.

[magic]

Just got one whip by us. Some rotation. Heading Worksop way I think.

and bypass Aylesbury pmsl 

[marksp]

well well well, still got thunder and lighting, thought that might be it but theres still some stuff left around.

[Robbie Garrett]

Any chance of a new thread, this one is huge :O

[SnowJoke]

Strong Hook echo showing on the Swindon storm heading into Oxford shortly. Looks dangerous and could drop a tornado or extremely large hail.

[Cheshire Freeze]

Scattered cells developing over Mid Wales now, should have some reasonable CAPE to tap into right into the evening. GFS showing good SB CAPE right up until 9pm.

[Robbie Garrett]

The storm west of Rouen right now is huge, It's very very lively. Wish we had that here

Some strikes reported over the Pennines now.

Can anyone recommend a video editor app for android? I'd like to speed my video up a bit and then post it for you to all see

[Grazy2266]

Lets hope so lol  notice the one that has moved out has decayed a little but you never know as is arrives on our shores it may re intensify.

Pity it was a side swipe. Plenty of lightning mostly high level but seen the odd cloud to ground.

Well they're not at the moment. The Le Harve cell died trying, bless it's heart
