The thunderstorms probability increases Sunday as a steep upper trough approaches Cape Town (resulting in increased uplift over Gauteng).

Near-surface winds will be 34020KT to 25KT, but only 15KT early AM.
Saturday AM less wind approx 02012KT.
Again PM cumulus build-up after 1400 local, developing into ISOL CB, bases FL130.
Sunday repeats the pattern, but CB development very late PM.
