They're quite far north so doubt it sadly

Skegness looks to be in line for a decent hit, shown 25 strikes a minute from that cell

Looks like a nice storm crossing the Peak District, should pass just North of here if it can survive

I've seen 3 or 4 flashes and had some very loud overhead thunder, also got quite gusty as well

Not a bad little storm, nothing exceptional but it will do!

[Zak M]

That storm to the north of Nottingham looks like is travelling south east?

[sconetone]

Little storm overhead here in Mansfield...

[Greeny]

Just one sudden boom of thunder like it was out of nowhere about half an hour ago and then nothing. Very isolated, short pulse like storms today I think.

Day 2 Convective Outlook

VALID 06:00 UTC Fri 12 Jul 2019 - 05:59 UTC Sat 13 Jul 2019

ISSUED 20:09 UTC Thu 11 Jul 2019

ISSUED BY: Dan

An upper low will slowly retreat from the southern North Sea to Germany on Friday, with a trough axis sliding southwards across eastern Britain. Cool air aloft atop residual low-level moisture (dewpoints 13-15C) will steepen lapse rates and yield 300-500 J/kg CAPE in response to diurnal heating. Low-level convergence will likely aid the development of a few well-scattered showers and one or two thunderstorms by Friday afternoon / early evening, before decaying later in the evening as nocturnal cooling of the boundary layer commences.

Main focus will be over East Anglia late morning / early afternoon where a short window will exist for convection to grow deep enough, coupled with some reasonable shear, to produce lightning - before increasing subsidence aloft limits convective depth with time through the afternoon. As such, a marginal / low-end SLGT has been introduced. The attention will then shift to C / S Scotland and northern England during the afternoon and early evening.

Thought we were in for a surprise storm there before the cell died over South Cave, all we got was 10 minutes of moderate rain
