A dry and mild evening. Windy too, the strength peaking around midnight
with mean speed 21 kn and gusts 37 kn. The strength tailed off pretty
rapidly after midnight, falling to about 2-5 kn as the ridge axis passed
around 0330-0400z. Light S or SSW winds since then. It started raining
around 0855z as I was doing this observation. Full deck of thick medium
cloud, with some scattered ST SC underneath. The Wrekin has a cap of cloud
currently.

Rain didn't last too long, it had stopped by 1000z and was only ever light.
Some rain visible to the west, but not affecting the visibility overly.
Berwyns are now visible - and they still have a bit of snow on them (behind
walls/hedges, I think) - as has the Wrekin. Clouds resolving into what
looks like a typical (for Shropshire) warm sector 'look'. Pressure and wind
traces displaying evidence of lee wave activity.

Mild and breezy since the warm front went through at 1205z. In fact, a
record mild January day for me (records only go back to November 2007
though). Typical Shropshire warm sector conditions, with excellent
visibility and an undulating cloud sheet - the visibility is at least 60km
in most directions, spoilt by "limited" visibility to the west and
north-west (can't see the Berwyns any more). Gusty southwesterly winds,
although not as strong as last night. Highest temperature so far this
afternoon was a balmy 14.1 (1435z).

A windy and damp end to the afternoon. Still mild, but light rain started
at 1530z and has continued on and off since then - with the odd short-lived
moderate burst too. Windy with gusts into the mid-30s (knots). Highest
January maximum for me today at 14.1 (records start Nov 2007).
