 Reasonably happy with jet stream modelling today and reasonable agreement across the models that there is some thunderstorm potential today. Predicting the destabilization of the CAP time wise is a bit tricky as the vorticity patterns across France and Spain are complex  (EUMetsat Real time images). It looks to me like destabilization across France might not happen quite the way it is modeled due to fairly dry air at lower levels (More towards the Brestimageproxy.php?img=&key=d8af95ed7f22db9eimageproxy.php?img=&key=d8af95ed7f22db9eimageproxy.php?img=&key=d8af95ed7f22db9eimageproxy.php?img=&key=d8af95ed7f22db9eimageproxy.php?img=&key=d8af95ed7f22db9eimageproxy.php?img=&key=d8af95ed7f22db9eimageproxy.php?img=&key=d8af95ed7f22db9eimageproxy.php?img=&key=d8af95ed7f22db9e).  Divergence of air aloft as a jet streak approaches the south west of the UK into the evening will most likely break the CAP.
 Timing wise then I think it is going to be later into the evening which will tend to rule out surface based storms although the night time surface inversion is pretty thin in places.Estofex highlight severe wind gusts, large hail and locally excessive precipitation as the prime concerns, but I think we should add lightning to that list. I think west will probably be best due to more moisture being sucked in from more maritime air.

Thanks as ever @BrickFielder!

The dynamic tropopause charts in your post make interesting reading.

The sky was clear here until about 15 minutes ago but now it looks like this. 7186AB95-D2D1-48AF-9E69-77C7BA34150B.thumb.jpeg.362572ea1d8169e822821c953e79cee4.jpeg

Walking home from work just now has nearly killed me off. It’s so hot and humid it’s unbearable!! Here in Wrexham it’s 32c currently. Sky mainly clear with a few wisps around. Hope we get a big storm tonight!!!

A few charts from the 9z AROME ensemble.   First the ensemble me mean, showing action across a range of south western and Southern England,

What's interesting is that the 90% chart (meaning 90% point on the probability distribution ) brings this right through the centre of the UK (this is a probabilistic model)

On to CAPE, and here's the mean

But here's the 90%

My take (and I'm NOT a storms expert),is that if this is going to go big, it will go up the middle of the south, the A34....we will see.

The Arome is already way out, even on the latest run,

To be clear, my post was about the AROME ensembles, not the det run.

Good sign, generally this type of elevated summer storm doesn't get going until the late evening, early hours.

There is something about 11pm - 4am time period that forces the eletricial actviity to increase. 

If I had to hazard a guess I would say

9pm, 10pm Swansea/Cardiff

12am-2am Hereford

4am Shrewsbury.

My guess for tonight.

Dark skies to the south now. Will be the edge of that precip making its way towards Bristol.

Local forecast now has storms for nine o'clock. Well that's looking unlikely at the moment maybe later on.

Okay then here we go we finally have some interesting skies going, plenty of friends about (AcCas) and can just about see some cumulus starting to show. This has all developed very quickly.

Indeed AWD. I'm sure it wasn't the flag that gave it away, though.
