Can't see evidence of a sting jet in satellite imagery , wonder if the
gusts are due to convective downdrafts (sferics in area) or orographic
effects from the Pyrenees,

There was a more pronounced cloud hook on the earlier imagery and the
topography will have come in to play with some of the gusts. But for the
most part the sting jet was considered responsible.

Ah the 24hr airmass loop is more convincing,was that NMC diagnosing the
Sting Jet?
