A bit more rapidly developing convection to the SW :)
Looks like the convection is organized in a line going by radar.

Looks like the front is coming through now.

There has been a lot of Altocumulus castellanus here in the last hour or two, some of it quite tall with weak precip but no cumulus.

Maximum temps look seasonable this week for northern areas with 18-20C.

The low end of the week looks like a blast of wind and heavy rain but a fairly stable looking system so no thunderstorms.

Elevated convection I find is quite fascinating :)
