Very interesting radar at the moment, target area from all forecasters looks to be spot on today

Is this big mass all still elevated stuff i assume?

Well, I'm not very hopeful for any more activity here. Not promising at all. 

Nice cell on the Sussex coast a little earlier.Several shotgun blasts of thunder right overhead and good CG lightning.Torrential rain too.

You never know. Radar shows the rain building westward, so you might get lucky! *fingers crossed for you*

Nothing here apart from passing anvils from storms further west. Unbelievable.

Same here, and the heat seems to be even more oppressive than earlier. Still 31C

There's the possibility of that, local METAR does show thunderstorms for MAN and LPL into tonight and parts of tomorrow, I don't have access to the higher res models however so just going along with nowcasting unless anything pops up in the Stoke-on-Trent/Wolverhampton are with association to outflowing from the storms over in the East.

If I was being picky... the TAF (Terminal Area Forecast) is showing storms into the night, the METAR is the actual conditions at the time of the report, usually updated every 30 minutes or more frequently if special conditions are reached: That's called a METAR SPECI. (60 degree change in wind, 10kts change in wind, CB in vicinity, etc etc will get a METAR SPECI produced) 

Sorry to pick up on it, I've just finished the Airline Transport Pilot License exams so am being particularly specific :)
