Bereft of pedestrians, thanks first to a Sunday evening lull and next to the looming, uncharacteristically dark and stormy sky, Wiener Neustadt presented a strangely abandoned aura, quiet but for the growing rumblings of atmospheric forces gathering overhead. Several cells formed almost at once and nearly overhead, along a slow-moving outflow boundary from earlier convection that deluged the Alpine foothills to the west. The differently textured cloud bases manifest those cells at various depths and stages of development. Soon enough, the rush of cold outflow and rain would scrub the streets and sidewalks, helping a jet-lagged American couple sleep in the hotel at left, and refreshing the air from late evening all the way past the following dewy dawn.
