The Cold Front cloud band and the Warm Front cloud shield are still easily recognizable (left image). The cold front is accompanied by some narrow fibres which are typical for the jet axis. The whole cloud system has moved eastward with the cloud shield of the Warm Front now being superimposed on the British Isles. As before, the structures in the WV image (right image) are even more distinct with a broad humid shield in the area of the Warm Front and a characteristic Black Stripe at the rear of the Cold Front band.

This black stripe separates the frontal cloud features from the cloud head to the north very distinctly. In contrast to the frontal features which have maintained their appearance during the last six hours, the cloud head has undergone many more changes. This will be discussed later in a separate chapter about Rapid Cyclogenesis and upper level features (compare Diagnosis of Rapid Cyclogenesis and Upper Level Trough Feature - 19 February 1997/00.00 UTC and Diagnosis of Rapid Cyclogenesis and Upper Level Trough Feature - 19 February 1997/06.00 UTC).
