Title: A bit of convection (Mar.12) Post by: Roman White on March 14, 2009, 10:40:38 pm Some nice convcetion developed on Friday afternoon. It was enough warm outside (+10C), but as the clouds growed larger and the evening got closer, the temperature started to fall. Just in a few hours after this (at sunset) the sky became covered with thick As (later - with Ns) - it was a cyclone heading from S (it caused wet snow on Saturday).

Those rising temps during the day must be helping generate those clouds in a decent manner now. I like the last two images because of the clouds above a tree which really gives a sense of scale/size. First image looks very peaceful..until the wet snow came in later.

The #1 image is distinct Cu, the #4 and #5 seem more like Cu to me, but I have doubt on it. Martin, can you judge?Note: no rain falled from those ones. The rain later that evening was caused exclusively by As/Ns. |
