Parts of the UK may see some severe storms today. The most at risk area is the Southern Midlands, parts of Wales and South Central areas. There is a small risk of severe thunderstorms producing hail, strong gust winds and even a very slight risk of tornadoes. I will be watching this situation and may have to go chasing this afternoon.

With just a little less than 10 days before I depart for tornado alley I thought I would look at the forecast models. Certainly the next few days are going to be very active with several days of severe weather across the plains. Today and tomorrow look like big tornado outbreak days. Looking further ahead I think we will see 5 days of pretty active weather before things quieten down for a few days. Then a further round of severe weather looks likely to start some time around may 6th. Of course looking this far ahead with computer models is never accurate but I had to look anyway. can’t bear sitting here seeing a major outbreak on-going and not being able to go due to existing work commitments.
