Here in West Leeds - surface cold front through: marked barometer "kick"
wind speed and direction change:
No rain yet, but plenty to west : Skipton only a few miles away experiencing
some downpours.

I thought these storms were running well ahead of the cold front itself.
Isn't the actual front marked by that thin ribbon of precipitation running
from Anglesey down to the Scilly Isles?

The BBC radar animation between 0900 and 1000 is interesting, the developing
system over the N Pennines and Cumbria seems to have engaged that thin line and
advanced it eastwards pretty sharpish in its northern half.
