Heavy snow and lighting inbound gonna be a bad night tonight 

Indeed! But I suspect the snow that falls from the sky won’t be the kind of white stuff we see in Winter... ?

A much brighter start this morning, blue hazy skies pushing north from the channel so should be a reasonable and notably more humid day as long as the fog can stay away.

I wonder if Sunday’s storms will be reminiscent of the electrical storms we had a few weeks ago ?

Despite some early sun here there’s a lot of mist, clag and low cloud coming into the south and south east. With all the moisture about it’s going to be tough to clear it. 

Have to say the forecast is starting to fall apart a bit really....

Everytime i look at the forecast for the weekend, it goes down a degree. It will have gone from 28 and bright sunshine on Sunday to 18 and rain by the time it gets here.

 

I'm never going to hear the end of it now as we have an outdoor event on Sunday and i've been telling people since Wednesday that it's going to be sticky, very warm with the chance of an odd thunderstorm. Now it looks like its going to be a bit muggy and soaking wet.

Still some nice SB-CAPE (1800+j/kg) around for Saturday maybe not as good as it was earlier in the week though, but that's the usual GFS CAPE downgrades to nearer the time as normally expected.

I'll have a pint of Stella ActATwat as I calls it also

The reason its been downgraded is because GFS was basing those CAPE values on temps of 28C with outrageous dew points of 22C, in reality 24/16C looks just about attainable. Anyway down here in the south based CAPE is of less interest as any convection won't survive the Channel crossing.

Not really, the forecast is now very uncertain and there is clearly going to be ALOT of cloud around this weekend. We'd all like sunny days and overnight TS's however it looks currently like being a very messy weekend forecast wise. I'd hate to be on TV trying to explain this lot.

Sure, go ahead! But maybe leave at least 5 of them for me.

METO weather warnings for Saturday and Sunday for our region now.

Very warm and humid conditions will lead to thunderstorms developing across parts of Southern England, the South and West Midlands and Wales on both Saturday and Sunday. Thunderstorms will produce torrential rain and hail in places with up to 30 mm falling in an hour, while some places may miss the worst of the heavy rain.

The sun's out! Temp 19.3°C. Humidity at 75%, dew point at 14.6°C

Still chucking it down here, pity as my rain gauge has stopped working, will check it out once the rain stops.

 

Can I ask a question Mapantz about my weather station,

It's a ambient weather WS-1001 wifi station. I'm sure it came with rechargeable batteries, but the manual says, when it comes to changing the batteries, you must not use rechargeable batteries and instead use standard AA instead.

What is the solar panel for on the out door station if its not for recharging the batteries?

Hi Steve

The solar panel is to charge super-capacitor inside of the station. That will allow it to run without using the batteries. The battery power takes over when it is cloudy/nighttime, or when the super-capacitor hasn't had any charge put in to it.

Convection really getting going looking north towards Dartmoor from Salcombe! Transformed in the past 20 minutes or so. Looks very promising for later on!

Cheers Mapantz, that makes sense.

Don’t know what it’s like at home but it was hazy when I left. Bet you wish you were here.
