Some seriously Deep Purple on this storm in the outer Hebs, you could say it's the wonder of nature 

if lightning from that hits drift-wood, will it be 'Smoke on the Water' ?....I'll fetch me coat

Low humidity here, everything stable.

We don't need to worry, anything we get will not be surface based so doesn't matter about humidity down here really.

[ancientsolar]

some strikes just off the SSW Coast of Wales

[SarahWxm]

It’s trying it’s hardest. Convection around. The humidity is unbearable. 

[SarahWxm]

It grew then it collapsed lol. Only 5 seconds and I held it up for ages. I need a tripod lol

[Convective]

Convection going up nicely to the west (of all places!)

[Chris.R]

Big upgrade on WRF 12Z for tomorrow in my location. Wind does not veer until a bit later and as a result instead of 21°C it gets up to 27°C with around 2000 J/Kg CAPE and an LI of -6 along with convective precip 

Saturday also looking good as well as Saturday night.

Well there's your MCS building right there.

Note a few more cells popping up to the east of it, that should give CS England what they want if it doesn't die away.

Edit: They might be SB storms actually...

That’s a bad place for them to start, if they are surface based storms they end up leaving a wet mess in the channel and mix out the atmosphere and create a bust for large portions of the south coast!

Anyone know how you actually tell elevated cells & SB-based cells apart on radar?

It's been on the GCSE geography curriculum for at least 10 years. Stunning place. Was heartbreaking watching that event unfold on the tv

I think they may be elevated. A lot of that cluster has formed over water. With SB storms they usually die away as soon as they touch it!

You can’t really. You can only take a punt if for instance they cross water around the U.K. and don’t die out theres a good chance they not surfaced based.

Hope not. That'll be crud by the time it gets here and we'll have a hot, sticky, inhibited environment

[Eskimo]

Blimey. As other have mentioned there's a lot of PWAT in this atmosphere. 

[thunderhead 2005]

Thats elevated not SB as the channel would kill them off

Bloody hell...that accelerated quickly

The storms near Jersey I suspect are elevated. Some of them initiated (or appeared to) over the Channel, hence my suspicion they are elevated. 

HOWEVER, the waft of high instability is not due to arrive until much later tonight. Therefore even if these storms are elevated, if they drift into more stable air, which seems inevitable, they’ll quickly die

Discover St. Ouen's Bay, on the west coast of Jersey. With miles of sand washed by rolling Atlantic waves, the magnificent St. Ouen’s Bay is a natural playground for surfers and adrenaline seekers.
