Saturn storms Dec 22nd

Hi All,

Imaged Saturn this morning, the storm is very extended and there appears to be at least 3, possibly more, distinct white spots within it.
I am wondering about the relationship between the extended tail and white spots within the main structure of the storm and how their drift relates to any drift of the radio source's detected by RPWS. As the SED's related material punch's through the upper cloud layer and mushrooms it would seem that possibly a local jetstream could be responsible for this streaming tail that is developing.

Thanks for looking

Regards
Trevor
