Weather pictures & report of June 28-29 2005

 

Multicell thunderstorms along convergence line.


Synopsis: advection of unstable air from SW. During the evening thunderstorms developed on incoming prefrontal convergence line from SW. On the first burst my area was in the developing zone with some real firework. The second burst did occur a couple hours later with less spectacle.  All pics taken at Kortenberg or Steenokkerzeel (near Kampenhout) in CET with 30 sec exposure time, but lightning shots are no compositions.  

 

Radar sequence between 2230-2330 CET. Developing Cb over Zaventem and my area with Cb tops up to 14 km. In these first thunderstorms this was the last image captured by the radar (for 7 hours) as a couple minutes later lighting struck the antenna.

28/06/2005 2339 W. Following 7 pictures were taken within 10 minutes and do give an idea how active this system was. The red dot on the horizon is the new control tower at Steenokkerzeel.
