Norman,

I think the rain may be falling from Ac cast -

(00z Camborne ascent)

An upper trough approaching from the W will destabilise things over the
coming hours, along with prefrontal convergence, as it overruns the front
causing some heavy showers. After that a long period of wet weather is
imminent.

I think you're right, Joe. Although the Cu are getting quite beefy the
rain is undoubtedly falling from the Ac. It has been raining for at
least 50 percent of the time since 0900z but never enough to dampen any
surfaces.

I have a considerable interest in the developments over the next 24
hours as I'm due on the 1st tee at the golf course at 9 a.m. tomorrow
morning for the Monthly Medal. It doesn't look good :-(
