Storm & Convective Forecast

convmap_010716.png

Issued 2016-07-01 08:59:18

Valid: 01/06/2016 06z to 02/06/2016 06z

CONVECTIVE / STORM FORECAST - FRI 1ST-JULY-2016

Synopsis

Unseasonably deep upper low moves in across NW Britain on Friday, with a deeply cyclonic southwesterly flow across the UK. Surface low will move slowly NE to the NW of Scotland, cold front clearing SE England in the morning will be followed by a cool and showery maritime flow, with surface heating allowing a few thunderstorms to develop.

… EIRE, N. IRELAND, SCOTLAND, N WALES, N ENGLAND, N MIDLANDS …

Cold pool associated with upper low moving in across the NW will steepen lapse rates across the above areas through the day … which with surface heating of moist maritime flow will contribute to around 300-600 j/kg CAPE this afternoon. As a result, heavy showers already across EIRE/N. Ireland and western Scotland will become more widespread across the above areas through the day, with increase in surface heating leading to the development of scattered thunderstorms. Deep layer shear will be weak across Scotland and Ireland … so storms will struggle to organise. Better overlap of stronger shear (40-50 knots) near jet stream across the south and instability will exist across N Wales, N England and N Midlands – where storms may potentially organise to bring a risk of localised flooding, hail to marble-size and strong wind gusts. Generally, organised storm risk looks below severe probabilities, given cool temperatures / modest instability.

Nothing on my detectors. Pretty quiet at the moment the low temps could well be the killer today

I like knowing we have similar forecasts! I just find it useful when looking for storm potential myself too! I thinking myself as a beginner, creating forecasts gives me a better understanding of storms and just learning from mistakes makes the experience of storms so much better!

Interesting, i've only heard about 4-5 claps of thunder and they were last week, yet apparently i've had many more.

None event here and it seems activity is dying away now. Have managed to get to 0.4mm of rain though.

Typical may have brewed a cell for someone north east of us. A big red blob just gone up.

Absolutely throwing it down with T&L in DN7 (North East Doncaster) at the moment. Came from nowhere.

Heard a rumble of thunder to the distant south, but it looks like it is missing here on radar. May produce towards Nottingham though.

London is the hotspot who said London is a bad place for storms? I think that's nonsense, I got 6 thunder days according to that sounds about right - it is turning out to be significantly better than last year.

Looks like Beverley caught a good storm around 5-30ish from the radar, strikes all round us, Malton, out in the North Sea and Beverley area but nothing here just a heavy shower

I suspect that might be the cell we brewed earlier.
