I think anything popping up local to you from now on will be a damp squib...especially after those spectacular thunderstorms in Florida!  (Really is the perfect place for heat/thunderstorms)

Thanks for sharing all the pictures/videos - fantastic viewing! Brought back memories of my few visits there over the years! 

Thunderstorm warnings again up here for Friday and Saturday - looking at the charts/models this fantastic spell of mayhem should be coming to an end soon after.

It has been pretty much relentless here since July 31st.

Cheers man. I'll upload all the storms I got in Florida in order on my YouTube channel.

Liverpool TAF not interested in anything thundery tomorrow either with the cold front or post front. It might actually happen then.

For the sake of your towel lets hope something happens. I think tomorrow will be all about now casting, sky watching and waiting for the NW region.

I have now uploaded the storm on my second full day in Florida.

There was some nice CG lightning in this storm in the distance.

Slim pickings today!

20c and plenty of warm sunshine with a bit of convection in the distance.

How will this event tonight compare to Tuesday 23rd July? Less chance of storms this evening? 

overall a lot less lightning and more hit-and-miss I suspect

I'm back from Florida.

Just had a look at the chances of anything thundery in Bedford for Thursday night/Friday morning. The chance is there although I'm probably going to sleep through it all because I'm soooo tired.

So jelly of your holiday, looked amazing.

bedford totally missed out while you were away, so I doubt we will get anything

It was a great holiday. Superb.

Some of my friends from my school said that they got a night storm on the 24th July and a morning one like 2 days after that. That's all I've heard.

Could you please give credit to Tony Gilbert of UKWeatherworld where you have taken his forecast map from. I'm a moderator on that site and it is inconsiderate to take someone else's efforts and not give credit to.

yep we did have a few and I was out in the morning storm at 6:30 (lol) and on the same day we missed a storm by miles but could hear the thunder Would of had one yesterday but they all broke up before they got here, all for a really heavy shower,

Im still fondly reminiscing the one on the 24th July, was the best display in years! Then the one later the next morning was very loud and struck a house in Shortstown!

Not sure it’s anything out of the ordinary but just found this footage from yesterday afternoon near Chertsey and thought I would share (timelapse)

Just saw a couple of flickers of lightning to my North looking towards Gloucester direction.

Day 2 Convective Outlook

VALID 06:00 UTC Fri 09 Aug 2019 - 05:59 UTC Sat 10 Aug 2019

ISSUED 21:58 UTC Thu 08 Aug 2019

ISSUED BY: Dan

An upper low will swing northeastwards across Ireland on Friday, reaching Scotland by Saturday morning. An occluding frontal system will stretch from Northern Ireland to southern Scotland and northern and eastern England first thing on Friday morning, gradually lifting northwards through the day. Pockets of embedded elevated convection will be possible, although pinpointing exactly where some sporadic lightning may occur is near-impossible and overall is not expected to be too widespread.

 

A wrap-around occlusion will provide for the focus for a band of heavy, showery rain over the Celtic Sea and southern Ireland on Friday morning, encircling the main surface low. This whole system, including band(s) of showers / showery rain, will gradually migrate northeastwards across the whole of Ireland and Irish Sea into Wales, western and northern England and southern Scotland. Some sporadic lightning will be possible in places, but dependent somewhat on sufficient cloud breaks to allow adequate surface heating in-between the showers.

 

Either way, strong steering winds will ensure relatively fast movement of individual showers across England and Wales, although this high momentum may be mixed down to the surface at times in downdrafts to produce some gusty winds. Since a single shower is unlikely to last for long, this will ultimately limit how much rain accumulates - but elements of shower training could occur which may exacerbate existing saturated ground. An isolated tornado will be possible given strong low-level shear.

Over Ireland, the proximity to the upper low will result in more "pulse type" convection given weaker shear and slower storm motion, which brings the risk of localised flooding from prolonged downpours.

 

In-between the early morning frontal rain clearing and the first (of many) wrap-around portions of the occlusion arriving, a window of clearer sky will exist for better diurnal heating across northern England and southern Scotland. Given surface dewpoints of 15-19C (at least for a time early afternoon), up to 1,000 J/kg CAPE will be possible. A strip of dry mid-level air will overlay this warm, moist low-level airmass, creating a rather unstable environment with reasonably steep mid-level lapse rates. If sufficient heating can occur, scattered showers and a few thunderstorms could develop.

The main risk period with a favourable overlap of various ingredients will be 10z-15z, but there could be a second wave of showers/thunderstorms late afternoon lingering well into the evening hours. Given the potential for a couple of waves of shower/thunderstorm activity, a low-end MDT has been issued. Given the sheared environment, a supercell may be possible, capable of producing hail up to 2.0cm in diameter and perhaps an isolated tornado.

Looks like Northern England and Southern Scotland the Places to be again
