Storm & Convective Discussion - 20th August 2015 onwards

[Raidan]

Sky to the south now clearing still dark to the south west.rain has now stopped and there was no thunder.still a chance later though

[Polar Maritime]

Long deep rumbles here now and some flashes. Can really feel the energy today. Hands and feet feel tingly at times.

 

Yes certainly agree there re-energy.. Distant rumbles to my South from round 2.

Prime-time still isn't until 9pm tonight, this is just a bonus round to begin with.

 

I was just thinking that myself, was expecting things to be later than this. What a bonus round 2 would be when its dark and you can see the lightning

[Harry]

Well the stuff coming out of SE Wales has really got going! Goodluck to the W midlands from this!

[Mark Griffin]

Very impressive shelf cloud and rotation from the storm just past us.  Very active

[matt_in_dudley]

Lots of deep booms and a fair few flashes. The rain doesnt seem to know whether it wants to be torrential or not though.

[Schnee]

So far some nice storms have skirted by Crossgates, close but not a direct hit

[P-M]

Damn, the storms look like too far east or dying out before they reach here but could be wrong as I am just using the raintoday radar and it's taking ages to update 

[Andixxx]

Torrential here for a few minutes Matt in Dudley

And here it comes again

[matt_in_dudley]

Oh wait...there it is...very heavy rain and another flash of lightning. Im so pleased!

Torrential here for a few minutes Matt in Dudley

And here it comes again

Tonthink i was lying out there fifteen minutes ago lol wow its monsoon rain now!

[ChezWeather]

The energy is still there, as others have said, this is far from over yet! 

[P-M]

The batch of t/storms around the Leeds area are more favourable but I am just hoping that the murk and crud which lingered today hasn't hampered the regions chances of them staying active until they reach here.  The cell that was around York was really active but then has died a death - perhaps as it's near the coast the north sea breeze may have had an impact?

[Guest]

Been out to get a few photos but checked the radar and concluded it's best to stay at home now, especially as they skies are messier than before. Some angry clouds about now

I thought it was clearing up over Blackwood.. but the thunder has got louder and what looks like another developing storm system in the rain is pushing here.

[Gord]

The rain is crazy with this storm!

[Eugene]

Solihull area does so much better for thunderstorms, just 19 miles northwest of my location really does make a difference, wish Solihull was still in Warwickshire.

Hope so! There's been lots west, east and north of me but looks like there's a storm shield around me at the moment hopefully i'll see something before the night is out! Sky keeps going black but we're just getting the heavy rain, seems like the edge of the storms! 

[Costa Del Fal]

I must say I'm less sure on tonight's developments now or I think they may only affect S Wales and parts of the SW but otherwise right now is very interesting.

I was thinking exactly the same mate!!

Don't get to enjoy thunderstorms these days, we have a very frightened black lab who needs his thunder buddy at times like these

[dragon falls]

Rain lashing down still muggy lighting was good

[East_England_Stormchaser91]

Currently at ferrybridge services. All I can say is WOW!!!

[Summer of 95]

A few spots of rain coming down, but nothing more. Was heavier on that dying front this morning.
