Default Stratus moving steadily W'SW across southern counties

It's lovely in mid-Devon at the moment, with clear pale blue skies (8.6°C) but by the look of it, it won't stay that way for much longer. If you look at the animation on the 15 minute visible satellite images from the Met Office, the cloud edge of the low stratus that's currently across Wiltshire and approaching Dorset must be moving W'SW at around 15 knots at a guess, and will reach here in a couple of hours or so. Hopefully in that time insolation should have lifted the base a bit and fragmented it a bit - who am I kidding.
