Unstable showers Canty plains 18th Dec+Wintry weather!!!
Quite a summery scene for sure with some nice CU going up inland and one nice cell too with a nice anvil.
Few strikes on tracker not sure wether it's coming from this wee cell though.
Took a drive just down the road to get some pics before so will post up later still cool to watch.
Cheers
Jason.

Yes interesting indeed Jason! Look's like the cb started firing inland from Oxford and moving NE. Can see it nicely on the sat image, and rain radar.

Can see an isolated shower to the N-NW so perhaps a splash for Tony soon .
Took another drive out not long after my previous post as it had developed even better but by the time i got to a good spot it didn't look as good still was there though .
Looks like a few strikes came from this cell perhaps more on the plains though.
Cheers

Bit of grapel in the heavy rain here now looks large but also some pinging on tin roofs next door.
