Could they spread as far as Porthmadog?

I imagine so, as they'll have some good lift off the hills and mountains.. so I imagine its possible as it moves in from Southern Snowdonia

You look a bit too far west

9 severe warnings this summer for my area. 9 times we haven't even had a drop of rain. This is why I don't get hyped with forecast charts, models, trends etc... Because 110% of the time they get moved away from area, downgraded and eventually removed altogether, even the ones that are still active never come to fruition. That's why I don't take much notice of when people put models on here as ludicrous as 4 days ahead of the so called 'events'. 

Lol 110%

Nice cell tracking into the channel just off Caen and Le Havre. Could possibly looks like a potential hit for Eastbourne.

Darn too far west, Hope I might see some Lightning in the channel

I think we would get some nice bright flashes and rich elevated thunder from that range!  Fingers crossed

[It's a Philcast]

Flamin' typical...me n the wife took a drive towards Ludlow earlier as we thought there was a big cell developing but no luck there...so on our way home, we see this monster developing on the radar out of nowhere, arriving on our doorstep in Bromsgrove and what a view it was from Callow Hill...the wife couldn't get a pic of the face which was evident on the right hand side as it erupted so quickly....so we hammered it back to Bromsgrove thinking a tornado may pop up only to see it fizzing out...

I think we'll stay home tomorrow just in case!

May need them to develop a little further West to affect your area, but wouldn't rule it out as the forcing is showing its hand now. They will more likely develop in a similar line as they are now and drift N/NNW. Best thing to do is check the radar regularly lol.

Is that the official name? SoR? Always wondered what is was here...

[matt111]

Hasn't the SOR been incorporated into the POS? 

[Rush2019]

Radio picking up quite a few sferics from the activity in Wales now, however the radio is far more active than what is appearing on lightning maps.

[Karengaunt]

it's really strange in portsmouth at the moment, it's cooled right down which is nice but god it's humid the air feels so heavy 

[Osca31]

Rumbles now being heard from the cell moving up the Cumbrian coast.

Add RSH: Rotherhithe Storm Hole

I’ve had one storm this year from that weird northerly in June but it was decaying rubbish caught one good CG lightning. The rest of storms have has either gone east or west happens very frequently.

ive not bad a proper storm since May 2018 what’s happened my inner London location which experiences some of hottest weather used to get decent storms every year, now there seems to be more chance of getting real snow.

I can now see lightning from the storm near Cumbria at silverdale. Clouds look pretty stormy here

we won't get anything mind you we suffer the worst of the humidity and heat then everyone else enjoys the spoils

[matty40s]

North of Derby is what remains of the Eastern side of the earlier Warwick storm. Looks like it is starting to pop up again. Perhaps because of the hills.

[Summerstorm]

Bit miffed as all the stuff seems to be going west of me again. Hoping another line forms further East or something so some more people can get in on the action as currently most of it is in the middle of nowhere.
