Looking at Chris’ latest forecast on the beeb and their radar is showing some thunderstorms moving directly northwards across the SE at around 3am on Friday morning, some imported elevated storms potentially?? I don’t tend to trust BBC at all lately but just wondering

Ohh that explains it then, i was unaware of that, thanks for clarifying lol 

Haha, I only learned that the other month myself! The 'future radar' thingy on M/O's website is also based on the UKV data, although it's updated far slower (4 times a day, about 3 hours behind the UKV's runs)

AROME 12z is not a good look for anywhere on the south coast besides Devon. AROME is hinting at MCS development but tracking straight up the Irish Sea.

And the EURO4 joins in

Looks like West Wales will see a cracking lightning show tomorrow night. UKV very much on its own.

I disagree with that. ECM/GFS/HIRLAM all show something similar. What is very clear in these situations, The majority of precip charts will never be able to accurately render the destabilisation, i've seen it time and time again.

I'm guessing Lincolnshire is in for a good chance this week? with the better chance up North as storms develop

Often a hotspot in situations like this. I'd be cautiously optimistic if I were you.

My bad maybe I should've been clearer. Imo the UKV is on its own in comparison to the other hi-res models. I actually hardly pay any interest to the GFS & ECM when thunderstorms are forecast but maybe that is just me. That saying I do agree with your final statement.

Preparing ourselves for the bust call in 24 hours time when nothing is showing!! 

To me it’s a classic set up where storms initiate just offshore and rapidly develop as they hit the South coast.

Saturday morning looks interesting for some post-frontal convection, but guess what develops in the afternoon and kills everything! I’ll give you a clue; it begins with S and ends in E. Thank God I’m going to be moving to Prescot or St. Helens in a few months.

My earlier thoughts have not changed, SW England to Dorset, Wales and North West England to SW Scotland with the first batch, then Surface based storms initiating M4 for East Midlands and NE England

I’m gonna jinx the whole thing, but we NORMALLY do pretty well in these scenarios. Don’t quote me on this in 36 hours time. Thanks.

Have to say, Friday morning looking good round here now. Just a shame will be over so  quickly.

More AcCas popping up here now with some towers in the distance. Not sure if they’re visible in the middle photo.

Think it's safe to say the UKV isn't budging

Having just looked at the Met Office's video, I am preparing to live up to my signature...

I am the gap between storms...

Somewhere is going to get a storm tonight. If not these parts, north of here should get something. Things destabilising quickly now. These photos taken over the last 15 minutes:

That's the plan 

Anywhere from Cumbria / IoM north into southern then central Scotland.

Don’t take that so literally at this early stage . Not seeing a gap anywhere across the SE though? Looks like a pretty big area of storms moving initially eastwards then northwards across the SE and the London area
