🌬️ Severe winds may impact southern England tonight, with gusts of 70-80 mph likely to cause significant disruption. The strongest winds are expected from 10PM to 6AM, with conditions easing gradually afterward. The storm's track is somewhat defined, leading credence to significant impacts in a corridor from the coasts of Southampton up to Norwich.

📊 Confidence: Medium due to some model discrepancy— dangerous conditions are still expected.

⚠️ Prepare for fallen trees and hazardous travel. Avoid exposed areas during peak winds and stay indoors.

🔍 Meteorological setup: A mesoscale convective vortex (MCV) is set to track NE from the Channel. Strong convection wrapping around the low center suggests enhanced wind threat beyond typical values.

🎥 Live coverage: We'll be streaming storm chase updates starting 10PM tonight. Follow for real-time conditions and expert analysis.

⛈️Some models are currently showing some early signals for thundery weather next weekend

Still really far out, but worth keeping an eye out.

Todays convective outlook: #severewx #uk #thunderstorms

[StormTrackUK @StormTrackUK_]

🌧️Some moderate showers may develop throughout the day tomorrow.

☔️Low CAPE values will limit the intensity of these showers and lightning density is forecasted to be minimal. We are currently unsure if a convective outlook will be posted, but here is a rough area where these showers may develop based on Swiss 4x4 parameters.

⛈️ As forecasted, numerous wide-spread pulse storms, some being decently strong, materialised across the uk.

Here is an image of the lightning strikes from 12 - 6pm ⚡️
