Very nice pictures, Mike.

Much more ill-defined here with just a cessation of the rain, a drop
in wind speed and a slight brightening.

Earlier, quite a lot of wave activity on Loch Long as the wind
funneled up the 'trench'.

The 13:53 APT image from NOAA-18 shows this quite well

The image time is 12.53 GMT, incorrectly annotated on the image, just to
allay any confusion, Geoff.

The annotation has caused some confusion before and I have taken it up with
the software author. It should preferably state BST and not GMT Daylight
time (i.e GMT +1). I noticed that your HRPT image shows this feature
extremely well....

The dry slot shows up on ukmo vis and BB's image repository quite well
too! It's got "anafront" written all over it here's hoping for some
action as it crosses the UK although wetterzentrale is showing zippo
lightning and the ukmo rain radar's goosed with the beeb not being much
help either as it's showing *live* rainfall for 7pm tonight (written at,
erm, 1611z) ):

Isn't it a bit early in the year for these rearward sloping ana cold fronts?

BTW. Nice pix, Mike.

The last cold front, which gave the line convection earlier this week, was a
classic rearward sloper too.

Front edging away to the SE from here now as I type., about 2.5 hrs of rain,
brought 9mm so not as much as I had thought, some heavy spells, but nothing
special, temp a cool 9.5c
