Very warm sunshine here in D8 at the moment but can see some threatening and building congestus heading this way from the north and northwest. I have a feeling that things are about to go downhill quite rapidly soon!

Clouds have been bubbling up here all morning, even though it's not showing on the doppler at all....just started raining here about 10 minutes ago, really heavy large droplets. Clouds are extremely dark to the west...get the feeling we might have some electrics later this afternoon.
