I think we may need one of these as the Atlantic racks up over the next week or so.
Heavy showers are moving into the west at the moment and sferics have been detected to the S & W of the Irish mainland.
Some thundery activity over Western Scotland this evening
Significant area of thundery activity to the south of the latest low pressure, west of Ireland
Much attention on the Cold Front which will race across the country this evening. Getting organised into a band of heavy rain with another post frontal intense linear feature behind it. Unsurprisingly TORRO are interested
I suspect that the upper cold front has overun the surface one and we have 2 distinct bands of rain rushing across England. The heavy rain on the first band is pursued by a narrow active squall line now over South West England. That could be fun and games for a few
Net radar is looking impressive.

BBC weather going for heavy rain/hail and snow to move across Wales and The Midlands and the south tomorrow afternoon and early evening.
Rain setting in from the SW here.
Just watched Liam on C4 weather. He has that feature lined up across Wales,The Midlands and N.England and not the south so we'll have to watch that. He did say it would be intense though
The current squall is fragmenting and reforming as they often do in places
Heavy driving rain here but some nasty stuff out west and southwest near B'ham.
Plenty of activity across Scotland and N.Ireland on the sferic plotter.
Todays focus will be on a developing airmass trough that will cross many places later today. Aside from the wintry potential, this looks to be a potent convective style feature once again
Almost a full house on the MetO weather warnings page, just need some fog for the full set. Not very likely though!

In fact that blue echo on the rainfall radar coincided perfectly as it went over Epsom!

Thunderstorm over London as I left work just after 7. Not that close to me and no hail observed but pretty heavy rain.
