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

[marksp]

OH hell this is tense, more distant thunder, just need another 5 miles further West the bingo.

as I type thunder just keeps rolling on, don,t know whether to sit tight or drive up to Crich stand.

Round 2 building near Swindon?

[Dan the Man]

This forecast has been totally wrong hasn't it?

[Arnie Pie]

El Covo just begining to reveal itself as it moves away to the NE

 

[The PIT]

Going dark already to the south far too early surely.

[Flash bang flash bang etc]

I'm near Northampton and watched cells disappear off northward. Gotta be in Bristol area for 8pm. Where is best to head for this afternoon storms?

[LadyEv06]

The sky is purple to my south wow!

Hardly, a big storm like this is near impossible to predict, also they did say many areas would remain free of storms.

Yeah it's moving very very slowly north I got a feeling this wouldn't survive the crossing anyway

[Sainsbo]

Next storm on the way it seems, rumbles in the distance. I wonder if this one will be supercellular.

[Eye to the sky]

Here we go..I'll stop moaning now!!,brilliant storm.

[Neilsouth]

Wow it's so humid I need a cold front storm

[weatherobsuk]

You never know, the stuff out uttoxeter way might just get a mind of it's own and rival the cell next to it, not looking too hopeful though. Worst of today's weather so far for me being 20 miles to the SSE.

[Darren Bown]

There's still time to play for, but these haven't been as widespread as I thought they would be today, was expecting more clumps of large storms moving north, rather than convective MCS' with edges that are thundery.

[East_England_Stormchaser91]

Absolutely explosive here now, tower has gone up within 10-15 mins and its producing loads of rumbles to the ENE!! 

[Aiden2012]

is hoping that storm makes it to leeds

[ancientsolar]

Looks like a potential cell  may'be 2 over the South West ! 

[Terminal Moraine]

Almost continuous low rumbling thunder to the south and moderate rain has just started. It looks as though the cell near Derby will head to the east of me but I'm more hopeful about the other one a little to the west.

[Flash bang flash bang etc]

If I head south toward Swindon will I go head on into something thundery?

That would be nice :-)

[Aiden2012]

the sun is also out and its red hot

[paul m]

Not all bad. At least I got to see some night time flashes. They were not that close but very bright

[Grazy2266]

you can certainly see where the frontal zone is today.

[paul m]

is hoping that storm makes it to leeds

Think there are lots of us thinking that.

[Harsh Climate]

Your in with a good shot aiden, I think more likey for you though as I fancy it to just go east of leeds.
