It sort've all worked out how I imagined it might and it was a good setup, was touch and go as that first front hanged around a little longer then I thought, no NE came in either by the sounds but the trough seemed to be vigorous enough.
Well done Aaron, you picked up on the secondary trough well.

There was some upper flow there yesterday but not the NE to provide shear.
I've seen better looking chances but yes it was great it pulled off, yeah... no NE, oh well. Hopefully I'm free when the next chase is on, good Cg's Steve, these new HD cams make the stills better that's for sure. And Jase, not bad at all. Like that dark Cb!

Cheers
