Overcast then brighter, before a thundery downpour

Dry, but generally overcast for most of the morning, cloud gradually thinning to give us some spells of sunshine in the afternoon.  A thundery band of rain worked its way through by evening though, with some loud claps of thunder and another impressive show of lightning.
