Hi,

Just checked the only recognised FREE radar sequence that should represent
the actual weather and ......
What are those echoes in the South-East of the u.k. Any chance of thunder
here or am I barking up the wrong BBC, sorry ermm. tree?

Incidentally, how much does the 15 minute ACTUAL real-time radar cost on the
MO site?

Anybody know???

The warm conveyor may contain embedded instability but the main thrust of
instability is reserved for the high theta-w plume to the E of the conveyor,
several sparks today -
http://www.wetterzentrale.de/pics/Rsfloc.html

This frontal zone should move E as the northern portion of the disrupting
trough to the W moves on through. Deepest instability tomorrow will be
reserved for southern and eastern parts as daytime max. heating coincides
with the forward portion of the upper trough. A very slack surface flow
tomorrow, so maybe convergence zones acting as foci for showers...?

If you want "just" a 15 minute radar feed then Avbrief is your choice at
£25.85pa subscription. If you can afford £56.40pa then go with the Met
Office Aviation subscription which offers 5 minute ATD sferics and also
access to their unmodified mesoscale model updated every 6 hours, as well as
15 minute radar.

Hi Joe,

So, will the storm action will be tomorrow then? If and it's a big IF I and
the vast majority of the nation could understand the BBC television
forecasts and let's not forget www.bbc.co.uk/weather.f&#%up.co.uk or even
CEEFAX page 404 (404 error, methinks - 3 hours old is not CURRENT) then we
might get an idea of whether the Bank Holiday will be good or bad?

Phewww, nearly glad to rid of this off my chest.... so, can I have an
example of an Avbrief sequence sent to me or even a MO one?

Then again, I'm only a part-time worker, so how can I afford this valuable
info?

BTW Joe, did you pass all your required exams last year?

I prefer the Avbrief output as you can see the maximum "reach" of the radar
stations. An example can be found here -
http://www.avbrief.co.uk/samples.html (click on bottom two links)
The Met Office samples can be found here although no radar animation as far
as I can see -
http://www.metoffice.com/aviation/se...avigation.html

Tomorrow's showers will be Les C's "flash, bang, gone" variety. No build up
of instability under a cap or release of potential instability aloft, just
typical Pm airmass showers and with subsidence behind the upper trough
evident from 12Z onwards over most parts, a nice end to the day.

500mb trough axis already over E. Anglia by 12Z)

Last two second year exams this coming Thursday and Friday, "Investment
Analysis" and "Managerial Economics" respectively, all good fun.

Joe

Thanks very much for the links and good luck with the exams, Joe.

Cheers
