Although Grace has been swallowed up by the front the circulation of this
small TS is still very discernable on Bernard Burton's and the Meteox
satpic pages at 0900BST this morning - and it looks like this feature is
going to cross the UK.


... indeed! At the very least, it must be enhancing the humidity
environment within its circulation - so rainfall totals are going to be
pepped up as it comes east; a possible source of cyclonicity (if you look
very closely at the last few frames, an 'eye' of sorts is reforming):
it'll need watching until it is well out of the way!

We've already received around 17mm in the last 24 hours,
7 of which have fallen in the last 2. I hope this tropical
feature has the 'grace' to pass us by because the ground is
not soaking up the rain very well. Local flooding/running
rivulets look more like the result of a 30mm fall than 17.
