i'm of the same opinion, we will get very heavy rain, with possibly 1 or 2 rumbles of thunder thats it. 

Think we have a better chance tomorrow evening by the looks of things so fingers crossed

We are up the top of Salcombe, looking over towards East Portlemouth and beyond and the forked lightning is amazing! One particular crawler as well.

Me thinks it's just going to be rain with a bit of thunder mixed in. The channel kills it as usual.

My folks on the IoW have seen some lightning already, think you are in luck for tonight.

That mass of rain although losing its lightning looks torrential and very slow moving down southwest

@staplehurst

What are your thoughts for south wales tonight mate? 

Not expecting much in south Wales tonight to be honest.

The 12z KNMI Harmonie has a reasonable handle on events at the moment which suggests this first cluster will rapidly weaken as it edges closer to the south coast. The 2nd line near the Channel Islands remains active for several more hours, but may also weaken (perhaps temporarily) as it nears the coast - especially the western end. There has been a broad consensus that this may reinvigorate as it moves inland during the early hours, and especially towards Kent and the Sussexes late in the night. 

Whether it pans out like that or not is another matter, as thunderstorms create their own environment regardless of what model guidance thinks will happen!

Sat on Winchelsea beach , East Sussex in the pitch black, can see some very distant flashes too my SW

Don’t know if I’m ready to head out yet or the beach yet, guessing beach head would spoil my view

means it's really high up

Yeah getting more of the crackles now as it's getting closer, still much more elevated stuff though.

don’t lose faith... the stuff mid-channel WILL lose steam. But that’s not what we are after - we want this new wave of activity over the Channel Islands to push forwards - this is the destabilising plume that will work it’s way towards Bournemouth and onwards from there

As long it’s humid above your head that’s all that matters tonight
