Default SE Radar - correct or not?

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 -

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.
