I am intrigued by how the reports came in as the cell clearly became the tallest thing around (even though it's only 10,000 ft or so). Updraft surges like that can be enough. I actually like the velocity more around 11:15-11:25. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bigger issue is that all the shear is in the lower levels, so the radar is probably overshooting the best of it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Typhoon Tip Posted August 23, 2021 Share Posted August 23, 2021 So here in Ayer ... no rotation was detectable to the unaided observer. That said, there is a butt-load of shear in the lower 0 to 5km troposphere. The scud fractals are moving pretty swiftly NW around and under the dark bellies of nimbus, with their broken partial glaciated tops are leaning NE. One can see that it wouldn't take much to spin any updraft suspended through that column Pretty classic low LCL over-lap with lower level directional shear environment out there.
