BRACKNELL (TF)
0645 NW F4 30km RE-SHRA 4/CU 6/AC //CI T043D006
RMK: Light/scrappy shower within past 30 mins, otherwise hard/paved
surfaces dry - Cirrus more than half cover. Some Sc also present.=

0900 NNW F4 25km -RASN 2/CU 6/SC 8/SC T038D010
RMK: The 'snow' element in the RASN is very hit and miss, and you have
to be careful not to confuse the blossom blowing off the tree with the
genuine sleety elements. A shower of rain/snow mixed and snow pellets at
around 0800Z - again hardly significant. The Cu above is Cu fra; the
precipitating cloud looks to be the upper Sc (with perhaps something
above that).
[ OVERNIGHT DATA (18Z - 09Z):
screen min: 03.8 grass min: 03.2 precipitation: 0.1
other data: Hard/paved surfaces above zerodegC/dry or drying. The course
radar output on the public web sites is overstating the intensity of the
PPN for us - never more than the occasional light rain or sleet in the
main.]=
