Quite a noisy time by the looks of it - maybe a chance of this hitting the
South Coast later?

Sferic galore over the Channel, with Jersey getting a lashing -

A shortwave trough/PVA max seems to have forced these (very clear in WV
images) and 11Z Larkhill ascent shows the nose that has probably been
eroded at 550hPa. 50KT wind at 850hPa on Brest sounding, so we could be in
for some strong convective gusts.
