weird cloud movement
During a storm this morning(round 1100am, south of oxford), I noticed that
although the general movement of the clouds were from SW - NE there were an appriciable number of low small clouds, beneath the main cloud layer, scudding by in the opposite direction, very fast as well. whats that all about? (sorry if thats a silly question, just wondered!  ) |

The example you are describing sounds typical of what has been forecast by many of the models. Joe |
