I thought these storms were running well ahead of the cold front itself.
Isn't the actual front marked by that thin ribbon of precipitation running
from Anglesey down to the Scilly Isles?

The BBC radar animation between 0900 and 1000 is interesting, the developing
system over the N Pennines and Cumbria seems to have engaged that thin line and
advanced it eastwards pretty sharpish in its northern half.

Hi Col,
looks like you are right as the latest hourly analysis(09Z) on the MetO
aviation briefing service shows the cold front running down the Irish Sea
across Anglesey and to just west of the Scilly Isles,
best regards,
Alan

I recall seeing on the BBC forecast charts that a wave feature was
expected to develop on this cold front with a small section of warm
front over Wales and presumably delaying it's movement south
and east. I guess this must be this feature forming.
