Warnings out already for threat of thundery showers on Saturday. Very broad area covered as one would expect at this range, as the reach and location of the plume is still in doubt.

Quite a nice little cell passing overhead. Mainly linear base motion but some decent updraft scud.
Small hail.

Anvils to the north.. Anvils to the south, but it's been a reasonable day here, just the odd splat in the wind earlier... This afternoon has been gorgeous in portsmouth with near unbroken sunshine.

Cracking storm in Alton between 6.30 and 7.00pm this evening. Plenty of lightning, hail and loud thunder

Did a very local storm chase this evening. Drove just south of Alton to a good vantage point although I eventually core punched the storm line as it crossed Alton. Very dark with heavy rain as the wife took this shot looking north towards the clearer skies around 6.45pm

Away from the upcoming events, he's a brief video clip from yesterday evening. The wife and I had driven just south of Alton as he heavy showers started to get a good vantage point. Thunder started soon after and we eventually drove the short distance back to Alton around 7pm with me driving and Cheryl videoing on her Galaxy S4
