Quite disheartening to see the models show pretty much the same areas getting these storms all week. Absolutely zero likely down here!

Yep but great to see the northwest get some severe weather

Something is preventing anything from happening to the south and east of the Peak District today. I wonder if the stubbornness of the cloud earlier scuppered chances due to depressed temperatures?

Been keeping an eye on this for the last 30 minutes, looking west from central Manchester. Fairly sure there's some rotation to it with very low cloud and intense lightning. Quite the downpour too by the looks of it!

Surprised not much lightning coming from it

I'm one mile from the town centre on this one, watched it form and heard plenty of of thunder coming from it. No lightning observed and no rain fell In my location but, I bet town is a bit soggy!

These are of the Cheshire cell near Manchester, it's huge, watched it for a little while, lots of lightning, too distant to make out what kind though, from where l was watching it all seemed embedded.

Dying off according to lightning maps. Looked like a cracking storm, happy for you guys in the normally storm starved North West!

Its definitely intensifying. Have a look at the rain radar. Seen a few more distant flashes as it approaches.

Quite. Just had a peek at the models and it looks a carbon copy from today.

The feature on Wednesday night - is that ‘thundery rain’ or are we looking at an MCS?

I’ve heard of splitting right movers in the USA but this one is something else. In the us the right movers will generally head SE, but in this easterly flow we have a north east mover

Not overly sure. The UKV shows the front moving West in to the Midlands very early on Thursday. However, there's an opportunity for some surface-based convection to develop South of that front, all dependent on any sunshine of course. That's the best outlook I can see for down here, at the moment.

Not so sure. I was to the west yesterday and everything happened to the east. I'd head NW tomorrow but I know what will happen if I do.

I hope so. So disappointing to see everything that dared to get close just die off quickly.

@Paul Sherman explained it was an undercutting wind from the NE that was killing them off, rather than the hills (didn't think the cells got close enough to the hills anyway). XC weather wind map confirmed that. Hopefully different tomorrow.
