Well spotted.
That has the UK's name on it for Saturday except perhaps Devon and Cornwall.

So near, yet so far. Seems to have been the treand this week that storms over France have tracked just to the SE of us each time. Last night I thought this one had it's name on us. Beginning to wonder if we will see any rain today now?

The next lot in the North of Biscay at 08.30 is further west so could well
be the forecast deluge later, As you say so close but so far!

We are going to get it shortly in Brussels. Sky has been darkening steadily over the past hour - first spots of rain falling as I write at 09.30 Belgian time (08.30 BST).

They appear to have conveniently doctored the forecast now and without
saying the original storm forecast to hit the S.E early this morning has
slid by to the East. They are still forecasting heavy rain, now later in
the day, but of course this is not what the forecast was saying last night!

Just a word of caution here.

Remember that when viewing satellite images of large storms, you are
only really seeing the top of the storm which is likely to be much
larger than the base (because the anvils spread out rapidly), and that
said storm top may well be moving in a slightly different direction to
the rain area underneath it (because of the wind shear with height).

Finally, the computer models do not seem to perform well with
developing systems moving north from Biscay, and therefore cannot
always be relied upon.

I always view together with the rainfall radar, as you say, the anvil overhang is massive on that storm system.
