... moderate shower of rain 1240-1320Z, then slight, then ceased,
but just heard one (distant) rumble of thunder. TCU/CB all around -
darkest bases to E/ENE.

... (1425Z): rain now returned - skies actually stratiform type so
obviously some broader-scale lifting going on rather than individual
Cu/Cb. Still thundering - odd rumble every minute or so - no CG seen
(good vis), and to judge by sound (rolling thunder), probably CC
activity only.


.... (1515Z): no thunder heard for at least 15 mins, but raining
steadily (slight, ocnl moderate) from BKN SC/OVC AS - a decidedly
'frontal' (dynamic forcing) look to the sky rather than convective.
