Convective/Thunderstorm Discussion: Summer/Autumn/Winter 2014-15

Hows it looking for tomorrow morning in the north west. Flying into knock airport in the morning and trying to see if we'll have,

a.) delays, or
b.) the opportunity to take videos from above.

thanks in advance

You can see the train of instability on radar to our south heading for the southeast and east coast later tonight. Great angle of attack for storms later on. Wouldn't be surprised to see a few sparks reported soon after midnight.

Some fantastic flashes of lightning in Sligo earlier today and feels like there's more potential for some later.

Yep, it's back again, wind seems to have eased off a bit.

Another one

Convective storms are intensifying across NW and N France. Their environment is characterized by strong 25-30 m/s deep-layer (0-6 km) shear and about 500-1500 J/kg CAPE, the highest values in the southeast of the area.

Per numerical guidance and observed N to NE surface winds, these storms will experience a strongly helical low-level flow across far northern France and Belgium. There, LCL heights are very low with T/Td spreads typically around 2-4 degrees C. This suggests that tornadoes will be possible with the best organized storms in northern France and Belgium. Some large hail and severe winds will probably occur as well. The threat for large hail is highest in the south of the MD area, where the lapse rates are the steepest.

I am sure it won't be a patch on 1986. That was a proper storm.
