Convective/Thunderstorm Discussion: Autumn/Winter 2017-18

Meteorite58 · 2017-08-31 23:16:33

Met Eireann mentioning Saturday night: Outbreaks of rain in all areas, heavy and possibly thundery, with a risk of spot flooding So not very familiar with this kind of set up but very interested in piecing together from the charts trying to understand why and how Thunderstorms might develop in this scenario. What I am…

That area of lightning wont reach land. Its a very active front approaching the West Coast so i would expect sporadic sferics.

Click on the individual lightning icons on the map below to see the details of the strike (polarity, current, etc.). Some nice names for different types...
