Cracking TT's again..

Those PWAT's are high too, so I can understand a risk of localised flooding.

I'm looking forward to some storms, M, but it's the 'pwats' that worry me...Tally Ho!:oops:

Must say I'm actually more excited for this event than I was for yesterday's. This is very similar evolvement to the 3-4th July 2015 which was a reload like this one after the initial event. 

P.S the 00z FI is an absolute stonker and a half for storm porn. Reload after reload and a massive euro high in total control!

Getting excited about the potential for tonight, especially as here we only got the edge of yesterday morning's storms. Started off cloudy but that is thinning away now and hazy blue sky is revealing itself, hopefully a good sign. Would be nice to take a direct hit this time. Fingers crossed for everyone down south.

I have a dilemma - I can stay home in NW Kent/SE London or make the 65-70 mile trip to the Kent coast. Gut is telling me the coast (where the highest instability is) yet forecasts seem to be favouring areas further west. Aaaarrrggghhh!

If we can get a repeat of this then I would be more than happy. I am unable to chase tonight so reliant on something here.

UK TAF's for the Midlands and Northern England are all forecasting thunderstorms during the early hours of tomorrow. Maybe there is a chance the storm activity can get this far north, the TAF's are normally fairly accurate.

Think I'd prefer a re-run of the 17th tbh, that was fabulous (and I only had to drive a mile or so to get to a good vantage point) :D Let's hope there's less transition northwards and more NE....

My lord. Now the frequency of that lightning was certainly close to that of the Cornwall storm 2 nights ago. Never seen a show like it. I was too far away to hear the thunder, but saw the train of cb's all along the S, SE and Eastern skyline. It was like a strobe light for 4-5 hours straight with just about every bolt of lightning in the book covered. Very eerie and exciting at the same time.

The instability is set to spread north during the evening to all across the south east some very impressive figuers, but like you say the euro4 favours something further west than Kent but also includes Kent later on

Day 1 Convective Outlook

VALID 06:00 UTC Sun 28 May 2017 - 05:59 UTC Mon 29 May 2017

ISSUED 02:04 UTC Sun 28 May 2017

ISSUED BY: Dan

Upper trough approaching Iberia will advect a plume of high ThetaW air northwards across southern Britain through the course of Sunday evening and overnight into Monday. Destabilisation of this plume is expected, with upper forcing combining with isentropic upglide to allow areas of elevated thunderstorms to develop and expand in coverage - at least for a time - before general weakening/reducing trend is anticipated later in the night. 

 

Current thinking is activity will develop around the 19-22z timeframe over the English Channel / Channel Islands / SW England, growing upscale as the whole area of potential shifts NE-wards through the night. Steep mid-level lapse rates and reasonable CAPE suggests lightning will be notably frequent with any thunderstorms, especially farther east where such parameters will be more favourable.

As is often the case in such situations, there is some uncertainty as to the exact forecast evolution and position of areas most likely to experience thunderstorms - as such, the exact position of the SLGT/MDT is subject to some alterations. Some hail and strong gusts of wind will be possible with some of this convective activity.

Very hazy start to the day here. Once that burns away, I think humidity and surface heating will soar

Some very interesting potential for tonight down here, let's hope something happens to keep us all up for much of the night! Unfortunately the 00Z GFS was a big outlier, but amazing if it actually does come off....
