Eastern Europe is under influence of anticyclonic flow and int he isophypses a large fontal system is observed. Most of the convection is seen at the front side of an upper level trough.

Another 6 hours later the ridge has become "smaller" due to the eastward moving frontal system and a blockening belt of high pressure towards the East. Most convection is found just ahead of the upper level trough.

In the evening hours over the Carpathian Mountains a large convective system has developed. Also further north a large convective system is observed situated just ahead of the upper level trough. This is the convection in the warm sector.

All of Ukraine is still endorsed by convection. Hampered by lack of insolation there are three large MCS systems recognised which are all situated in an upper level ridge. In the coming six hours these cells will slightly decrease.
10th July 2004: 12UTC
The cells previously discussed have somewhat decayed. Over the Carpathian Mountains the onset of a new severe convective event is seen. There is also a tight gradient of the isohypsen over our area of interest.

A large convective system has developed and is now situated over Ukraine. It is situated on the western side of an upper level ridge.
