A bit of convection (Mar.12)

[Roman White]

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).

Hey Roman, it's good to see you are getting some convection again. 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.

Ah,now Spring is coming at last, the skies get more interesting. Nice to see those Cb's, Roman.

Thanks John and Martin

Nice to see those Cb's

I'm not sure those clouds are Cumulonimbus. 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.
