Shame it's just that bit too far North and East of us today by the looks of things! Guess I can't be too greedy though after Tues night.... 

I know what you mean but sod it... we seem to miss the good stuff quite a lot so we should be greedy

Hi all--long term lurker here finally decided to start posting. I nearly choked on my breakfast when I read the storm report for today, especially this part: "Strong deep layer shear, with some backing at the low-levels, suggests a couple of supercells will be possible, capable of producing very frequent lightning, large hail 3-4cm in diameter and, if storms can remain surface-based, the risk of a tornado or two".

 

I can't recall a time in the past when tornados have been forecast in my area.  I am in Glasgow, and in the last hour cloud coverage has notably increased--something is definitely brewing.  I experienced a supercell for the first, and only, time while on holiday in Florida.  To say I was awe-struck would be an understatement.  I never thought I would get to experience one in my back-yard, the fact that some major convective activity is forecast has had me on here and similar sites all morning.  I will keep you all updated about how the conditions are up here, pining for some whip-cracking lightening and deep, deep rumbles of thunder like an artillery barrage.  Knowing my luck it will all end up happening 20 miles or so from wherever I happen to be!

TORRO TORNADO WATCH 2019/005

A TORRO TORNADO WATCH has been issued at 13:55BST on Thursday 25th July 2019

Valid from/until: 13:55 - 23:59BST on Thursday 25th July 2019 for the following regions of the
United Kingdom & Ireland:

Parts of E Wales

Parts of the Midlands

N & E England

S and E Scotland

THREATS
Tornadoes, perhaps strong; hail to 60mm diameter; wind gusts to 60mph; CG lightning

SYNOPSIS

Scattered elevated thunderstorms are initiating over Herefordshire and these will move quickly north, with a risk of becoming severe in the next hour or so as they become more surface-based. Other storms are likely to form over parts of the Midlands and N England, all moving north at around 40mph. Shear will be sufficient for storm organisation, including supercells - any supercell would take more of a NNE track. Low-level shear is expected to be fairly high, especially later this afternoon/early evening - enhancing the tornado risk with any supercell which can develop. There is a small chance of a strong tornado, given the shear/instability parameter space.

Large hail is also likely with any supercell which can form, perhaps 40-60mm diameter.

Other thunderstorms are forming near Hitchin and will also move N or NNE, perhaps becoming severe with attendant risks as above.

It should be noted that, as always, many places will miss the storms entirely - overall, the highest risk of the hazards mentioned above appears to be over parts of the N Midlands and N England.

Forecaster: RPK

Not quite through the Black Country...just a tad further west than that right now. Still sunny here and can see it to my west...though doesn't look as close as I thought it would.
