Storm & Convective Discussion - 01/06/15 onwards

[Buckster]

good decision I reckon Harry

 

the storms to the East are quite fast moving and I'd reckon you'd have slim chance to intercept

 

I'm interested in the stuff to S-West of London currently - but could just be thundery rain when gets to Essex - just hoping it may develop

[poseidon]

I can see the CBs out of my back window but have only seen one bit of sheet lightning! Top of anvil moving across now.

They're moving at 60 - 65km/h :0

Thr 18Z NMM failed miserably lol

Just humid and rain here, not heard any thunder at all. Hopefully will clear soon to allow some sunshine. Storms to the E and NE of London look good, hopefully some of you can enjoy them!

[Harry]

Have decided to work for home...have to use another laptop but hey. Not sure I could cope if stuff did develop here later this morning and I was constrained in the office.

Constant rolling thunder to my south. Very close feeling to the air, reminds me of Florida, it even has the same smell.....let's hope we get similar storms!

[poseidon]

One distant rumble of thunder. Going dark, but I fear it may be the return of the drizzle. Can see ac cas and undulatus out east.

[Mapantz]

The very latest NMM .. lol

[sparky1972]

morning all, just woken to dark clouds and frequent distant rumbles, not expecting anything to exciting though.

 

   now raining but no more thunder, just seen met forecast, another 2 hours of heavy showers then a dry warm day ahead

The NMM is wrong and the weather has already happened! Anyhow I gotta say feeling a bit sorry for Norwich, in the middle of the two storms!

 

And as I speak the storm by Chelmsford, are they the highest precipitation rates we've seen all year? Must be torrential!

Interesting to see that CAPE values are dramatically toned down, come the event.

What is going on with the radars, according to them it should be raining here. But if couldn't be drier!

Here are some cloud shots of this morning's storm approaching and passing over. Pleased I got a bit of structure! Not really post processed much as yet plus a few rain blobs, please excuse! I think this may be the closest thing to mothership type structure that I will get in this country. Mostly lighting was within the clouds, torrential rain, small pea sized hail at one point, ground is saturated with standing water.

Great pictures there, nice one!

[sparky1972]

i guess with it being so quiet in here there is not alot of storm action happening at the mo.  currently raining here, feeling muggy

[Pursuer of Storms]

Grrr I'm so envious of you cloudsabove! Still, thanks for putting those up. I was keen to see what they looked like, seeing as I've had none here so far today. Great shots.

Spectacular pictures!

Gorgeous pics there skiesabove!!

Here's the extent of my experience this morning - the first two being the Rochester/Maidstone cell. The second too are from the past 10 minutes, first looking west, second looking east. Skies starting to look a bit agitated again and humid feel increasing.

If you're feeling storm-starved, the chase team in the USA got 8 tornadoes yesterday! Video and pics here:

[Supacell]

So it happened for some then. I wonder what today can produce for EA and the SE?

Was you on the Colorado storm, it was certainly lively to say the least.

[Heisenberg]

damn it, where are my storms!!!

Can't see anything happening to be honest.

 

To much cloud we need this crud to clear.. Don't worry though I got told I was stupid for saying that.. 

[cloudsabove]

Thx all! Wonder if we will get anything else soon?

 

Anyone else get any pictures today? Those shots look interesting, Harry!

 

According to lightningmaps.org there has been a huge amount of activity in the area and everything is now moving towards the coast. Looks like the separate streams of storms have just merged into one big mess. Standing water now draining away and the sky clearing somewhat.
