If the stuff to the north can turn thundery then I may be in business, although showers and storms coming from the NW rarely get here due to the Peak District killing them off. It's kicking off to the south of Birmingham again, could be a good afternoon if you live in the SE Midlands.

With you Supacell being of a hillier vicinity, is there anywhere you would recommend drivable that is a good clear vantage point for stormy weather?

Low-topped cells around these parts moving through with some dark bases against the mix of blue-skies above, moderate to heavy rain at times. Nice crash of thunder somewhere locally this past minute.

At football in Southampton and extremely heavy rain falling at the moment. No thunder but the rains so heavy it's making the other end look misty.

Lightning crashing down around the Peaks currently, one heck of a downpour (microburst maybe) 15 minutes ago.

Less defined, wasn't even aware it was on the way due to the cloud we've had most of the day until the first thunder-clap almost overhead. Counted around 10+ strikes.

Some nice clouds out there but no thunder and the showers pretty light here.

A few heavy showers here, and a large crack of thunder 20 mins ago, while I was out and about. It didn't register on the NW ATD, but it did on Blitz.

Heavy downpour rolling through Croydon right now and the wind's suddenly gusting despite slow-moving cell. T&L infrequent though.

View from outback.  From some reason this pic doesn't do it justice.

a very pleasant thundery afternoon....plenty of flashes and rumbles from a nice train of cells stretching from SE Wales to my locale :D

Great storms here, literally back building as I type with frequent lightning, thunder and bursts of monsoon rain. Has transferred from the edge of Salisbury Plain to a second cell forming almost over Warminster. Several very close positive CGs with gunshot thunder!

Day 2 Convective Outlook

VALID 06:00 UTC Sun 10 Sep 2017 - 05:59 UTC Mon 11 Sep 2017

ISSUED 16:14 UTC Sat 09 Sep 2017

ISSUED BY: Dan

The post-frontal environment on Sunday will be characterised by CAA with steepening lapse rates overspreading northern Britain during the afternoon, expanding more widely overnight as the upper trough stalls and digs a little farther south. Numerous showers are expected, particularly in western exposed parts of Scotland, Northern Ireland and NW England, some perhaps weakly-electrified - the broad LOW risk then becoming more widespread farther south overnight.

On the forward side of the upper trough, strong DLS will overlap with rather meagre instability to perhaps allow cells to become a little more-organised - this most likely over Northern Ireland / Republic of Ireland / northern England. A low-end SLGT might be required where this overlap of shear and instability is greatest, particularly Northern Ireland into SW Scotland, but confidence is not particularly high on how widespread lightning activity will be given very dry air aloft providing somewhat of a cap in the mid-levels, especially as one comes farther south over the Republic of Ireland, England and Wales. Nonetheless, some gusty winds will be possible with some of the more intense showers and perhaps an isolated tornado - though this limited to a certain extent by the relatively high cloud bases given predicted dewpoint depressions (but these reducing during the evening hours).
