18z EURO4 is a little lacklustre on precip rates to say the least, could be due to the elevated nature of the storms of course..

I’m like a child on Christmas Eve already, even though I’m generally out of the risk zone. But July 17-18 2014 springs to mind. No storms forecast, but ended up getting savaged by one.

I'm guessing it might be due to the fact it doesn't handle elevated convection well. You can just about make out the action zone it signposts on that last chart- which is Welsh Marches/West Midlands up into N England, with some activity E of that.

I thought as much, clearer view of the 3AM chart

Possibly because they're not expecting issues with rainfall and most of the lightning will be elevated cloud to cloud. Poses less risk.

Deep red-sky this morning here, not sure if the 'Red Sky in the Morning' lore holds much scientific principle but it does look spectacular. I'm guessing it's residual smoke particles being moved northwards with this plume as a result of the wildfires in Portugal this weekend just gone.

This is how our local weather centre see’s it...plus latest Metoffice text forecast.

I was hoping for more severe wording  (Something like Bournemouth below)

It will be interesting to see the warnings they put out later. 

Anyways all subject to change as the day goes on - exciting night ahead for many of us. (Looks like I could be up well into the early hours - depending on the radar!)

It'll be radar watching from pretty much here on in. Looking for the first signs of life down towards the SW around 6pm.

Not really sure what to think, as most forecasts still show storms breaking out Midlands, Wales and expanding North through much of N England and Scotland whereas others have the focus of severity to the SW and a spine up C England. Looks like the typical set up where everything might initiate just N of Gloucester again haha. Interesting radar watching to come.

Yes, but reading the full text of the forecast: "Thunderstorms will become more widespread, with the risk of hail, gust winds and some heavy rain bursts. Becoming drier later, but low cloud will roll in from the west."

i think they will put up warnings this morning

I rate my chances as 50/50 here. Just a bit concerned they may break out very early before sunset and have moved north by the time it gets dark

A lot of charts definitely showing things kicking off rather early. Late afternoon/early evening rather than later on:*(

Met Office weather warnings get issued around 11am. As this event is not until the evening and overnight it is not necessary to release a warning ahead of this time just to have to change it later. I expect warnings will be issued before midday.

Which warning will command more notice, the Met Office or the announcement of the next PM. Apologies for being O/T. 

It is an interesting time, especially waking up in July to thick fog (which has now been burnt away) and trying to see where these storms might track, seems to be still open to variance, but will firm up over the next few hours I hope. Still waiting for a good plume here in the central south coast.
