More thunder heard to my south west

Thunderstorm moving from southeast, now east of my locality. Thunder first heard at 1400 UT. Lightning observed (or thunder heard) every two to three minutes or so, still ongoing as I type. All CC flashes. Very little precipitation but heavy to the east. Heading NE to roughly the Macclesfield area.

Large black cloud coming across towards Sleaford from south of Grantham. Regular distant thunder heard, getting a bit louder, but storm looks like its going to skim the west of Sleaford. No rain as yet, wind did pick up but its dropped to almost nothing now. Twitter reporting a storm observed from the Newark area.

Frodsham Hill is in the way otherwise I'd be able to see Wrexham/Chester, but yes, the sky is seriously dark over towards Wrexham.

Edit: Looks like a dark rain shadow is coming from the cloud base.
