Been a while since I posted on here , thoroughly enjoyed yesterdays storm over the Blackcountry , the thunder was continuous as the storm passed over towards Walsall and Cannock .

This is probably the anvil cloud mentioned in previous posts . Picture taken in Tipton looking south east towards Oldbury .

Any cloud developments earlier have now ceased and skies are clear once more. As W09 says, the synoptic for thunderstorm development is not there today for most parts. There is a lot of energy being held up there but nothing to release it. Ireland looking good though currently and some heavy showers into central Wales which could turn thundery.

Next week offers some possibilities with warm air in place and low pressure over Biscay sending bands of moisture into the mix but its a complicated set up as cloud amounts could scupper opportunities. Get some good sunny spells though and rising temperatures could get a few thunderstorms going.

I have to say, those thunderstorms over western Ireland look pretty intense! I wouldn't be surprised if there's some big hail in those!

I know right, if only we could get some elevated convection like that. Where's it all going, AJ? You've gotta convince me something's going to happen one day! ;)

Does that mean that David (Son of God) Icke's prediction was right after all? Or are we running a tad late!:D

Very dark sky to the SE of me. Fits with the little cluster of heavy showers moving out of Shropshire into Wales

I think it was one the 'Son of God's' 1990s predictions. Needless to say, it never happened!:oops:

Got my eye on that small shower making landfall on The Essex coast. Hopefully it will intensify..

ah well, all towering cumulus have gone, and left with this nice sunset and stable sky,  not sure what this week will bring here but we have had 3 thunder days so far in 2016,  hoping for quite a few more

Me too: http://www.warehamwx.co.uk/cumulus/ewn/forecast.php

It's definitely going to happen, because that graphs says so!  Rulezz_alcoman2.gif

Looking good, I like the look of that elevated thunderstorm moving NNW out of the Channel Islands tomorrow evening, it's a shame it looses intensity as it moves towards me, but oh well.

Anyway, a pleasantly warm evening here with Altocumulus Castellanus cloud moving across the sky currently!
