Clear increase in mid-level instability here which coinciding with the activity further south excites me a little :yahoo:

The Sussex storm looking awesome on blitzortung at the moment with the cells bit further west still producing! Cell approach Hastings area also kicking out still...somewhat gobsmacked really. I'm due north of the W Sussex cells so need to keep fingers crossed it keeps on rolling.

As I type fresh strikes south of Pompey in Channel

Some strikes around Whiteley now, hard to imagine as here we just have slate grey skies and drizzle.  That storm in East Sussex looks fun!

I'll be storm chasing tomorrow if I'm too near the coast.

Day 1 Convective Outlook

VALID 06:00 UTC Sun 03 Apr 2016 - 05:59 UTC Mon 04 Apr 2016

ISSUED 17:01 UTC Sun 03 Apr 2016

ISSUED BY: Dan

UPDATE 17:01 UTC Added SLGT over SE England for the evening hours as coverage of mid-level convection increases, but still some uncertainty as to the true extent of any lightning activity given marginal instability

UPDATE 07:50 UTC No change to overall expectations highlighted below, LOW area has been extended farther N across northern England into SE Scotland for very low chance of embedded convective activity overnight

Falling heights as an upper trough pivots NEwards across Britain and Ireland, coupled with a moist low-level airmass and rather slack surface flow, may allow some deep convection to occur across central Ireland on Sunday daytime, the focus gradually shifting a little westwards with time. Hence scattered showers or pulses of showery rain are likely at times, which may produce some sporadic lightning given 200-300 Jkg-1 CAPE.

Moisture plume will also begin to advect north on Sunday afternoon/evening across southern and eastern Britain from the nearby Continent. At the same time, flow will continue to back as upper trough migrates NEwards, steepening mid-level lapse rates and increasing instability. It seems likely that at least some elevated convection will occur but in an environment with rather meagre CAPE (50-100 Jkg-1) and hence even if this does develop, it is still rather questionable as to how much lightning activity there will be, and the overall risk is deemed to low to issue a SLGT (which requires >30%). Main area of interest is from IoW-Humber eastwards, generally the risk increases as you head further E.

I bet you thought about me when writing that post. LOL. Looks like both of the thunderstorms are still going which is awesome! One is now smashing into Sevenoaks and the other one heading towards Maidstone!

Think I just heard my first elevated rumble - first bout of rain just gone through. Skies still look good to my S/SE

First flash observed off to my SSE - think Surrey is right - definitely a NE shunt to this lot visually anyway 

Stunning CG off to my S :yahoo:

The bolts while not incredibly numerous are stunning when they occur - repeat strokes and stretching across the whole sky!
