6am analysis this morning shows no fronts in the area, just a low to
the southwest. The T+24 forecast however shows fronts "appear" over
northern areas --- what's happened here?

Nick, the charts are subjective but I suspect it's a frontogenetic
situation
with the area of 'weather' eventually taking on the properties of the more
conventional warm/cold/occlusion. In saying that if you look at the 06Z
analysis it doesn't take much imagination to link the troughs together to
resemble the system on the 06Z T+24, as strange as it may seem.

Jon.
Obs, radar, satpics and 1200Z Camborne still suggest very little *frontal*
about the weather effecting the SW. Looks as if the rain will be patchy
....basically an area of showers with some thunderstorms. As Jon suggests
though things may change. Still likely to give plenty of rain to some places
which have already had more than enough. Mainly shower cloud on this
afternoons satpic .....
