As jh says, your format and layout is very good. It would be good if forecast entries followed a similar format which would make comparisons a lot easier.

A general, bitesize description; numerical prediction of range of temperatures compared to average; CET prediction; rainfall percentage prediction plus description of general precip; sunshine percentage compared to average - sounds like a very good format to follow. I often find that I wobble off in my forecasts so perhaps I would be better off breaking it down into a similar format.
I think that is good thinking, i was going to post last night that there are two types of forecast appearing, one is what i do and that does not contain numerical information, and the other being the format type what RS/others do. What you are saying is something i will think about, i may come back with a re-edit of my forecast giving this extra info along side my text. Another thing thats on my mind here is that when a forecast has a synoptic description for a said period, and it turns out that the setup/synoptics are different but the same weather is presenting itself (high pressure placement different), then could this be pointed based on the weather type and the synoptics separately?

Maybe the points from the forecasts could be displayed in a graph?

Created a map on my ideas of convection, isolated intense showers developing towards late day(more likely i think later then earlier), the risk of the clouds gaining storm height is possible, so isolated but intense storm cells.

Solway Firth, and either side I think would be my preferred location for today. Not sure why ESTOFEX have the >50% lightning prob and a level 1 out for such an isolated event?
Best to cover all areas for this!, sure one should develop somewhere but difficult to place a zone, i am thinking maybe they expect more isolated but scattered potent shower cells and some could turn into intense storms with hail, they are covering a wide area i must say but thats whats best i think!
