Storms and Convective discussion - 25th July 2021 onwards

At least the rain falling here this side of the Peak District bodes well for later on if there's any substantial heating into the early evening hours, any further cells that initiate to the south will be getting that added moisture 'boost'.

Hearing faint rumbles from SW

According to the forecast it's saying showers will be more frequent in the evening with greatest risk of thunder and lightning, be interesting to see how the rest of the day plays out

More impressive rumbles and backbuilding going on here! That scud is moving incredibly fast too on the photo.

That would be the "storm" which managed one minor rumble here!

Got my eye on this lot if they track NE

This may not be the end yet. Storm motion seems to have turned more SW-NE now. This favours Norfolk even better now. Keep an eye on those storms over the S Midlands.

The view out my back-window as the main rand band leaves, instability already settling up. 

[East_England_Stormchaser91]

Got my eyes on that one SW of Peterborough now. Could be a good evening in these parts later on. No shortage of storms over the Midlands currently.

Looking good to the E of Brum atm

Worcestershire cell now approaching.

[AnvilCrawlers]

Stiil cant get storm overhead,few distant rumbles no flashes as it went west of me heading NE.

[Thunderstruck]

Just had a brief heavy shower, no thunder though

[TJS1998Tom]

Plenty of instability looking towards Lincoln

[Guest]

Sodden roads here on my travel back to north Sheffield, lots of surface water. No thunder though which is disappointing! 

Cells definitely tracking more SW-NE now, and I daresay they seem to be a little faster as well. Not expecting much here this evening, purely from looking at the radar mind, so fingers crossed something initiates later. 

That being said, it was nice to hear thunder over the Peaks earlier, even if it was only a couple of rumbles.

[Turquoise]

had one 10 min heavy shower and that's it so far, very disappointing.

The storm close to Birmingham looks potentially severe going by the 16:40 radar  

 

edit: not from lightning activity but more from the radar signature

More of Worcs storm cell gathering pace... no lightning here yet though.

A pic looking East from Solihull towards the shower/storm that exploded around the Coventry area just after 3.

That Brummy storm has an interesting character about it...

@Norfolk Sheep Couple of cells gone up near Lakenheath and Thetford area. Should be heading your way!

Defined rotation to the right hand side, hoping enough for a funnel...

Better shot

Clouds and scud going in all directions

[TJS1998Tom]

Is it possible that lightning activity could pick up later in the evening? or is it mostly going to be heavy showers?
