Meanwhile in Washington, right in front of the White house

And it just proves that lightning doesn't "always hit the highest object".

Awwww, would have loved to have heard the thunder from that :-(

Unfortunately, 2 people were killed by that strike and another 2 were seriously injured.

The lunchtime Barcelona sounding showed SBCAPE of 7300 J/kg, which is way too high due to it reading an incorrect surface dewpoint of 31 °C. Surface stations at the time were reporting dp of 23-24 °C. Using that in the sounding would still give a relatively high SBCAPE of around 4000-5000 J/kg and MLCAPE of around 3000-4000 J/kg. Still juicy.

Meteorologist Andrew Pichard captured these back end mammatus clouds the other day in Illinois. Very likely from the same system that brought those big storms to the east coast yesterday.

Next weekend is looking promising from a thunderstorm point of view.

Early doors but it's no harm having a bit of hope. 😅

Early August is best time of year for thundery breakdowns, hopefully it kicks off on the west coast early next week

I have my doubts... unless the moisture comes during the day, it just won't be anything like warm enough at night to generate sparks.

Meteorite58 · 11-08-2022 08:26AM

Going by the consistency of the models Sunday looking like a strong possibility of widespread thunderstorms with heavy downpours I reckon.

Saturday a chance of s few also and next Monday showing up as a potentially active day also.

It would be epic watching it rolling in from a high part of the Burren near Fanore or Doolin across Galway bay looking from South West and the middle say the Arran Islands up towards North West, I'd say if it was going to be a show, it would be a rare occasion.

But worth the drive in the evening time if you're not far from there.

Sunday evening is looking more and more interesting, Limerick/Clare/Galway/Roscommon/Westmeath with Cape values above 1000 in the midlands

Not sure it's a rolling in off the coast type of thundery outbreak, more inland heat and instability generated storms

So it'll spark off inland, will the wet weather be coming from the Atlantic or Europe?

It won't be "coming from" anywhere really, the heat rising off the land will cause cloud to build overhead, especially near higher ground and these form into showers, then thunderstorms.

Danno · 11-08-2022 11:05PM

GEM 12z picking up some serious showers for Monday!

👎😪 wouldn't mind temps dropping but the now forecast for Monday's rain with tickets for Meath's tourist attraction on Monday.......

pad199207 · 13-08-2022 09:56AM

Latest UKV looks good for pretty much widespread thunderstorm activity from west to east overnight Sunday Night into Monday.

pad199207 · 13-08-2022 12:45PM

Quite the showing on the Arome

Storm 10 · 13-08-2022 01:08PM

ME said that Thundery showers would move in from the West any chance for us tonight or tomorrow
