Storms and Convective Discussion - 25th June 2019 onwards

[Summerstorm]

Tweet of the hail from someone in Wrexham looks like a reasonable size. 

[EllyTech]

Though I've only got the shape of rainfall radar to go by, it does look like there's a very decent 'hook' on the cell coming to our shores from Le Harve/Dieppe.. complete hail core  (but weakening slightly over the channel). ..

Think that might be it for the day with regards to chances for NE Wales/Cheshire. Things kicking off later will be further E IMO

Ah well will take it was a decent little storm feels like a bonus now after Tuesday night so I'm happy. Will try and photograph the structure as it moves away.

Am watching a Seafront Web cam from Eastbourne  

Really changed over the years  

Hoping to catch the storm before it dies.

ah the Brighton one looks better.

A good chance to really put the UKV to test, as it shows diddly squat on the latest update.

Diddly squat everywhere Mapantz?

Cloud really building now. Felt a few spots of rain as well. Hoping the main event is when it's dark 

[convector]

Latest sounding from Larkhill shows the cap in place but with massive CAPE just waiting to be tapped into. Expecting destabilisation later this evening as the trough approaches from the west, but time will tell.

Really was hoping for a more expansive destabilisation. This type of heat doesn't happen often.

One has to sit for a while to let it sink in.. Xcweather: Cambridge @ 15.20 pm 38C!

The radar is very uninspiring

Yep.

It got the peppering of showers spot on for this morning. I also posted a chart on Monday which shows those showers creeping in to the Southeast today.

However, I am dubious of it considering what is on offer.

[Scott Page]

Think the NW and Cheshire area is done now for today, everything else good will go southeast northwards

The SE corner of England is being compensated for the storms they missed Tuesday. Quite a lively couple of cells about to hit the shores in that area.

Hi, my first post here so I'm not sure when this reply will be approved, but just had the storm cell move across us here in Merseyside. The lightning map looks crazy, but in actual fact it seemed quite disappointing; from what I saw (hardly anything) it was all IC lightning and the thunder wasn't too loud. Oh well, I'm taking it as a bonus after our light show on Tuesday. Incredibly hot still and humid here.

[StormChaseUK]

You won't see much lightning from day time elevated

Netwx-SR a bit more keen, but we'll see - tricky day to call. 

[Azazel]

I’m wondering if that central band of cloud stretching up from France directly across CS England will kick off once the front out west moves in and erodes the cap

Wow that sucks for north midlands, north and north west england, I do hope it's wrong! About 75% of forcasts/maps go for the areas I just mentioned at highest risk of severe storms.

[Azazel]

Sferic on the Cherbourg peninsula. Go on my son!

Yep, definitely. I certainly don't begrudge any of the warning maps that have been posted, because if it does come together then it will certainly cause disruption.

The model actually takes that lot north later in the night - for instance:

[Harsh Climate]

Heavy intense shower just formed over chester, could become electrified

Can someone give me an idea as to when the severe thunderstorms are going to start developing over the Midlands, N.England and S.Scotland? All the storm forecasts refer to this, but insofar, nothing.  Cloud is building up here though and 30*.  Immense heat(Glasgow)
