Hier nu 15 graden met nog steeds stormachtige wind, zwaar bewolkt met mooie spookachtige oranje gloed achter de wolken. Je zag net de bloemkoolwolken gewoon groeien!!!
Nog steeds droog.

Wat een geluk weer! Ik zie het aambeeld in de verte maar het onweer zat er niet toen het over mee heen trok.

hier nu 3 lichten in de bewolking en ze blijven maar bewegen
en toen begon het te regenen en zag je een lichtstraal en bleken het hele heldere lichten te zijn-.-
maar voor de rest niks bijzonders

Hevig onweer hier nu in Alphen aan den Rijn.
Veel bliksem em een inslag in de buurt. Flinke regen.
De tv is uitgevallen

Het onweert hier nu ook flink + veeeel regen.

Zie mooie weerlichten vanuit Gennep richting het noordwesten....

hereveen heeft onweer

bij utrecht ofzo is het ook goed aan het flitsen. net terug uit nijmegen en hebben de hele terug weg weerlichten gezien
Vond het wel mooi en ook niet eng

Hier komt ook weer iets aan! begint te regenen, hoor het ini de verte rommelen en de tv doet raar..krak krak die gaat zo uitvallen geloof ik! Ben trouwens ook niet eens zo heel bang nu, is wel leuk dit bijna een soort! LOL

A level 1 was issued for parts of Germany, Netherlands, Belgium, Luxembourg and Switzerland, parts of Austria, Hungary, E-Slovakia, W-Ukraine, W-Romania and most parts of the Balkans mainly for large hail and severe wind gusts.

DISCUSSION: Belgium, the Netherlands, Luxembourg, eastern France and Germany
The main story during the forecast is the passage of the trough axis and attendant pool of cold mid-level air and the passage of a wave at lower levels (in high gear below 3km). Both features are displaced in time by a few hours, so thunderstorms are forecast in numerous waves and at different places.

The wave is placed over eastern France (roughly 9 UTC), over southern Germany at 12-15 UTC and over the Czech Republic at 18 UTC (based on GFS with ECMWF a tad slower). Both models show potential for thunderstorms, probably deep with cool EML temperatures in GFS. Initiation will be probably bound to the eastward moving cold front with isolated showers/thunderstorms in the weakly capped prefrontal warm sector. A potential scenario is an active, eastward racing cold front with embedded thunderstorms. Degree of shear especially at low levels points to an organized line (LEWP) with a severe wind gust threat. This line ought to decrease in intensity over N-Austria and the Czech Republic during the late evening hours, as CAPE decreases. Timing of this wave is important in respect of how unstable the airmass will be, which finally affects the magnitude of the wind gust risk. Next to that dominant risk, isolated tornadoes and marginal hail can't be ruled out, given degree of shear and some LL CAPE release.

Another area of interst includes Belgium, the Netherlands, Luxembourg and most parts of Germany during the daytime hours. As cold mid-levels overspread those areas from the west, steep lapse rates and adequate surface moisture result in at least modest CAPE release (up to 500 J/kg MLCAPE). Shear decreases gradually to the north, but remains supportive for organized thunderstorms with a hail and wind gust risk. An isolated tornado risk is present due to some directional shear and low LCLs, but the overall risk remains low as directional shear component first increases as CAPE decreases (evening and night hours). Thunderstorms decay after sunset.

Thunderstorm coverage is on the increase over the Baltic Sea during the night hours, as cold thermal trough overspreads the warmer Sea. Moderate CAPE with abundant LL CAPE release but weak shear point to an isolated waterspout risk, althoug no convergence zone can be seen in the models, which could serve as a focus for enhanced spout chances.

The same for the southern North Sea, where a few spouts are possible well in the night hours, although overall set-up does not look too promising with decreasing moisture content and no organized "convective lines" due to the late passage of a backbend occlusion (18-21 UTC).
