Looking at the previous thread has prompted me to ask something I've been
wondering about for a while. Why doesn't thickness appear on any of the
forecast charts until T +36 hrs and later? (I'm looking at the UKMO
charts on Wetterzentrale).

It doesn't appear on any of the archived charts either. Is that because
it's a forecasting tool and isn't used in real time (or marked on archived
charts) or am I just looking at the wrong charts?

Can't see anything on the ng FAQ (apologies if it's there and I've missed
it)
