surprised how little talk there is on the cells heading for cambridge. in hindsight, setting up there at the start of the day would've been a great call

I mentioned those on our regional forum for East Anglia and the South-East.

Storm brewing here just north of doncaster

Dependent on where you are in Derbyshire, the cell just gone up near Stoke may be of interest. Too far north for me, but looks to head towards Chesterfield. Nothing of note yet but could develop into something.

My eyes are peeled

Wow, that exploded just a bit at Danby, North Yorks

I think I am at the breeding grounds of these convective towers, some really nice convection. 

Definitely things afoot. How much lightning remains to be seen.

Getting dark.

Anywhere inbetween Whitby and Saltburn could be in for a treat

Dose the  sky in Warminster in Wiltshire  look unstable ?

Last ray of hope for west yorkshire, can those showers approaching from the pennines ignite?? 

[Windblade]

Just got home and the caps now broken...

However, I fear it's too little too late.

[Thunderstruck]

Very hazy now to the West, can barely make out anything in the sky

There's a cell popped up over Wembley that I'm keeping an eye on, that could deliver the goods for me

It'll be Typical if the North Sea gets all the excitment again like last time

[Hirudine]

Looking stormy east of Brum city centre.

[Guest]

Thunder reported from friends in north Sheffield. Bone dry here but my eyes are on the Stoke cell

that really would be a p**s take ,, its bound to happen

[Tikka_69]

Now thunder here too in the distance

[Tim Bland]

Storm now just south of Stevenage not showing up on detector though 

[Mokidugway]

I thought on Tuesday the action would be for trawler men and rig workers 

[Frosty hollows]

Inteesting developments in the Hatfield area

[poseidon]

Big anvil looming over from the west with towers behind. Need to work out an intercept or whether it will come right overhead. Decisions.

[Thunderstruck]

That looks quite a pokey little guy over Hertford!

[stephen390]

its become very dark very quick over Watford in Herts what was a blue cloudless sky just 10 minutes ago is now a overcast CB filled dark sky looks like it could be very alive by 18:00 here

[Dangerous55019]

And that's it from me for today folks... We've brewed up everything we can around here and sent it eastwards.

As you can see from these two photos, the rear of the grey unstable skies heading east... And the clear blue skies out to my west that say it's game over until next time. 

But good luck to everyone else with this today, and over and out from storm starved in North East Wales.

quite a few strikes detected from a growing thunderstorm near Stevenage

[Thunderstruck]

Wembley shower fizzling out but that Stevenage cell is growing fast!
