As per my post the other day, we are at the beginning of storm season and given the right atmospheric conditions, storms could pop up although the modelling may have missed it. This seems to be the case this afternoon. A couple of small cells have developed and can be seen on the radar. They are not big storms or throwing out a lot of lightning but a few strikes have been detected.

Looking at the sounding this morning and you can see a small amount of cape ( instability), just enough to allow some small cells to develop.
Fortunately, given the mid and upper level temperatures, and not a lot of shear ( updrafts ),it was not a big storm day otherwise large hail would have been a big problem.
