A good forecast for us from Tony Gilbert...
Slight Risk Gen Tstorms Eire, S. Wales & Southern UK regions 09Z-21Z Thurs 14th Aug o8
Occluded front initiates convective showers northern Eire early in period. Some of which could become thundery. A very moist profile and sustained surface convergence could trigger funnel cloud development. Southern Ireland initiates further convective showers later in the period.
Deep upper trough influences SW UK. Though it is noted that surface moisture is initially limited and could delay convection till later in the day. Exceptional lapse rate potential could well occur given enough solar heating. Some convergence at surface within a very slack regime looks conducive to more funnel activity. Even without strong convergence, the slow storm motion and almost variable winds at surface will create various boundaries and on to horizontal shear zones.
A good day to get out with the camera to see some spectacular anvils and hopefully the odd funnel cloud.
A very good day for storm Chasing IMO.
